I think the code is using the wrong address on decompress, but I have no idea and I want to rest.
Indeed, r601 broke all targets, you were just lucky that qemu didn't explode as well. It's the seemingly easy patches which break booting. With your hint, I found the bug. Myles made a small, but important mistake with the memset for the "zeroes" decompression. The memset zeroed the archive instead of the destination. No wonder it did explode. This patch fixes it and also reverts the emergency commit r604 because that one is no longer necessary.
