Check the loadlin version. Loadlin 16f, released 2012-09-17, is the 
current one, it should be able to boot recent kernels. 16e, released 
2010-08-25, may damage the initial ramdisk when loading Linux. 16d, 
released 2009-02-08, contains code to boot Linux >= 2.6.23, but it 
probably does not boot recent linux kernels.
