LinuxBIOS + Etherboot Problems

   I am trying to load a kernel over Etherboot, and am
having some problems doing so.  I am using etherboot
version 5.2.2, and mkelfImage 2.5 released 24 April
2003.  Here is the output I get:

Do I have the correct versions of Etherboot and
mkelfImage?  I have booted this kernel on this machine
fine before (when it was burned into flash and booted
directly from LinuxBIOS).  Do I need to change
anything in the targets Config.lb when I run
etherboot, or should it be the same as when I burn the
kernel into flash?  I am also able to boot the kernel
over Etherboot fine on another one of my machines
booting etherboot from a floppy.  On the machine in
question, Etherboot is the payload of LinuxBIOS. 
Please help!

Thanks,
   Jeff Stevens
