Yes, booted by PPCBoot from flash.
so i cannot hold the ppcboot (u-boot) on the flash, i
need the changes in my linux image , or using a linux
driver.
You will always need a boot loader to initialize the  hardware.  This
is what PPCBoot is doing for you. Only then you can start Linux.

know what it is. is it ppcboot? or ELDK makes a
bootable linux?)
Yes, PPCBoot is the boot loader. Do NOT replace it, just use it.
Any other point of view is really wellcome.
Did you read the DULG? See http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/Manual
