It's arch/ppc/platforms/4xx/ebony.[ch] And no, ebony.[ch] doesn't support u-boot. So it cannot work with u-boot if you didn't change ebony.[ch]. You cannot just substitute boot loader without changing board support in Linux kernel and expect it to work. I can only suggest the same thing I told you before, get Ebony running with standard IBM boot loader (OpenBIOS), study how Linux kernel interact with _this_ bootloader, study how u-boot differs from IBM OpenBIOS and only after having full understanding how things work, try to port Ebony to using u-boot.
