Note that I'm not yet getting Linux booted, I would love to get that far, it just gets to elfboot then says: Could not find a bouce buffer... Cannot Load ELF Image
Sounds like you are running out of HEAP.

The real problem is LinuxBIOS thinks there is no memory. Remember that in the beginning we set up the CPU with no functions to be called? It turns out we do need to have some functions called, because part of what the functions have to do is indicate how much memory there is. We can look to another Northbridge chip for inspiration. It is pretty close to the SC520 and avoids the complications of the K8 Northbridge, which are very complex.
