The last line here looks wrong. It should be someting like 10000000 (256
MB) or 20000000 (512 MB). Not AACC8A8B which is ~ 2732,783 MB.
I've noticed that this only works right with gcc < 4.1. It seemed like
they did change some things in ld.

That is where my kernel stops to boot too!!!
Is there someone out there who can tell us, what we did wrong?
