In uboot1.2 the procedure requires you to reflash with 3 files. uImage, Filessystem and kernel.

Did you do this part below that is at the end of the instruction you reference. This is not an option since the erase procedure earlier
Has blown away the kernel.

There are special commands to help you install and run the kernel image:

GUM> katinstall 100000
Copying kernel from 0xa2000000 to 0x01f00000 (length 0x00100000)...Erasing...
........... done
Erased 11 sectors
Writing...done
GUM> katload 100000
Copying kernel to 0xa2000000 from 0x01f00000 (length 0x00100000)...done
GUM>bootm
