Well, the memory needed is starting from the:

#define KERNEL_PHYSICAL_BASE (2*1024*1024)

and it should be large enough for kernel. But it feels a bit like barking under 
the random tree; the problem is that the error is not telling us anything why 
it did happen:(

This message you get is coming from sys/boot/common/boot.c, as part of the 
autoload sequence; did you try to load kernel manually with load command? also 
if you have old kernel around, does old kernel get loaded?

rgds,
toomas
