It seems you configured miniom to send a modem init string.  This  is
not expected by PPCBoot.

You use minicom.

You post to the wrong list (u-boot-users is a much better  place  for
such questions).

You don't provide any details. Maybe the serial driver on your  board
is waiting for a hardware handshake signal (DCD?) which is down while
disconnected? What happens when you disconnect the cable?

Best regards,
