I'm surprised that an official Ubuntu ppc kernel would have such a non-standard name. Anyway, if homebrew you'll also need to ensure the kernel supports all the usual virtio devices (especially virtio-serial, which is required by libguestfs).

The code is fairly simple to follow. I barely have internet access here and in any case I don't know what's in that uImage file, so I suggest compiling supermin yourself, running the command by hand, and adding printf's to src/kernel.ml in supermin to find the problem.
