I guess the corruption happened later. Most probably because you
overwrite the image because of the too load download address.
See FAQ 14.3.2. and keep your increasedimage size in mind.

but you an check this easily yourself - step by step.

- after creating theimage, try "mkimage -l arch/powerpc/boot/uImage";
  does this work?

- after downloading theimage with TFTP, run "imi <download address>";
  does this work?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
