There are some things you should change:
First, PPCBoot is a dead project; development has been discontinued
more than half a year ago. For new development the successor project
"U-Boot" should be used instead.
Second, U-Boot (and PPCBoot) related questions are off topic on a
LInux mailing list. Please post such questions to the u-boot-users
mailing list instead.

Third, if you have a custom card, you should adapt ("port") U-Boot to
your hardware. Using a configuration that was designed for different
hardware will always cause some sort of problems.
Finally, both PPCBoot and U-Boot have been supporting the LXT971 for
a long time.

Well, this is a different issue, then. The Linux driver should
perform all required initialization itself, so no interaction with
U-Boot should happen.
