U-boot 1.1.6 is ancient. The u-boot project has moved off of sourceforge to denx.de > After this, I tried to convert the u-boot (README says that this is an ELF > file) into an ace file.

I don't know; but personally I don't weld u-boot into an ace file. I use a 1st stage bootloader to load the u-boot image off the cf card (but unfortunately I'm not able to post that loader at this time).
