You are using the wrong boot loader and/or the wrong image.
vmlinux is just the Linux kernel - it expects to receive certain
parameters in registers, and boot arameters in a command line. The
EPPCBug boot loader does not know anything about Linux, so the kernel
crashes because of missing / bad parameters.
Either you will have to use a boot loader that knows about Linux and
the parameters needed to boot it (like U-Boot), or you could use a
wrapper (bootstrap loader) around the Linux kernel like what you get
when you use the arch/ppc/boot/images/zImage file.
Best regards, and Happy Hollidays,
Wolfgang Denk
