Ok. That's enough info (sorry I didn't catch your email sooner, didn't=20
need the telnet, other than that you dropped a digit in the %ssr0 number).

The problem is you're using a kernel that's too fat to be loaded by that=20
boot loader. You either need to use a newer boot loader or create a=20
custom kernel that is smaller. The problem is that the kernel starts to=20
load over the boot loader, with disasterous results.

The newer boot loader loads at e00000 not 640000, so it's out of the way.

Take care,

Bill
