That's weird.  I've never seen that error before.
Looks like it might be related to a faulty kernel image.
  
Let me make sure I am understanding this correctly.  You
get that message while the kernel is still booting?  It's
not related to the wireless LAN initiation (which happens
after the kernel has completed booting)?

How old is your loadlin.exe?  The old loadlin (in BL1) could
not handle larger kernels, but the current loadlin (in BL2.1)
is fine.  I can't remember exactly when I updated loadlin.exe,
but it was several versions ago.
