vmlinx and ppcboot
If I has ppcboot working and has a vmlinux.gz, do I need any other working boot code from the kernel tree? I mean, if my making a linux kernel image 'make zImage' fails at the last step (building a zvmlinux), is the vmlinux.gz image built valid for ppcboot to boot the kernel?
Thanks.

No.
PPCBoot does not accept a vmlinux.gz image. It requieres an image created by the mkimage tool. See the README that comes with PPCBoot.
