OK all is well...no fire here...move along. I figured out what

I included the vmlinux as the DOM0_IMAGE and not the zImage. It

loading of Dom0. So ultimately this is a USER error ;-)

Thats not user error, that should work, its not smart but is should
work, stripped or not stripped.
So vmlinux can be like 64M which is bigger that our boo_of allocator
can currently handle.
This is our bug, we should simply exit gracefully.

Jerone, could you file a bug with the specifics?

I can though adding a check to try and catch the size (as suggested by
Hollis) does not look like it got far enough in the code to catch it. I
think it's the tftp limit being 64MB (though I could be wrong). I'll
file a bug never the less.

If this is indeed a tftp limit than it is a SLOF bug.
