Usually it is much easier to put the Linux kernel image in a separate
part of the flash. Loading it from a filesystem just adds to the boot
time.

There is no difference with any  other  boot  procedure  -  load  the
kernel to RAM, and use "bootm" to start it.

What exactly does "it fails" mean? Is there any error message?

What is a "stripped version"? U-Boot does not know such a thing.

You must be doing something seriously wrong. You NEVER start a  Linux
kernel using the "go" command, but ONLY using "bootm".

Please RTFM.
