What's you're seeing is the kernel image being written to the video framebuffer. It's unclear if this causes the kernel to crash or if the kernel is crashing for some unrelated issue. > I'm not very good at this , just a beginner but my question is.

A serial port (to get kernel debugging) would be very helpful. I think some people have tried increasing RAMADDR (and decreasing RAMSIZE) so that haret loads the kernel after the framebuffer. You could try that, but I think it may also require changing the kernel to know about the new address as well.
