Yes, I did. Same result. Currently, I'm trying to figure out where the issue is. ofwboot seems to do its job, loading the elf into memory and jumping to the correct address. It will take me some time to figure out exactly where the problem is (just guessing, but I believe it is when the kernel tries to initialise the console...). And most probably it will take me even more time to try to solve it.
