So what is the difference between the load and entry addresses? All

The load address is where the kernel gets loaded into RAM when you run the "bootm" command, and the entry point address is the address - um - of the entrypoint, i. e. the first exacutable instruction.

of the examples I've seen have the load and entry addresses set to be the same...ish. 0x00000000 & 0x0000000c for PPC

Wong. Both are 0x000 on PowerPC by default.

In my case my SDRAM starts at 0x30000000 and ends at 0x33FFFFFF. My Flash and hence U-Boot is at 0x00.

Does the load and entry address vary depending on whether you are using vmlinux/vmlinux compressed/zImage?

It depends on what your Linux kernel's linker script does. I don;t know your kernel source tree, so I have no idea which values are correct for you.
