Since the error occurs at 2M, I am going to guess it is similar to
problem I had. The default link/load address for booting is 0x200000.

Here is a link:
<http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/linuxppc-embedded/patch?id=14717>

This fix is for the arch/ppc tree. I don't know if the arch/powerpc tree
works the same way.

In the future, you should say what kernel version you are using and what
the error was.
