Hmm. My guess would be that the kernel is somehow not initializing
properly. The loader doesn't set anything but environment variables
for the kernel to read, so it's not a matter of the loader setting
variables inside the kernel or anything. Are you sure the kernel you
booted via boot.config is in sync with your world?
Other than that you probably need a person who is familiar with the
kernel startup code more than a loader expert.
