That is interesting - I'm going to have to try that. I found that, while I lkrn loads, I can't get a DHCP lease in the CLI, but (oddly) if I just let it PXE boot it pulls and IP just fine. That's a bit weird. I'll see if your edit to libflat.S fixes that for me as well. (I see this issue same up a bit with gpxe too, though I've not yet found what the solutions was.)
