I thought it might be too.  So I downloaded a fresh copy.  Same error.

Toward the beginning of the boot process is when it happens.  I don't see
any of the hardware detection messages.  It gets almost immediately to
that error message and halts.  I've made an alternate bat file to boot
this kernel, and just copied my current loadlin booting file, only
changing the name after "loadlin" from zimage to bzimage and renaming the
file.  This is not a standard DOS partition, btw, but a PTSDOS partition
I'm booting from.  I don't have any idea if this could have anything to do
with the problem I'm encountering.

It's the loadlin that came with the latest release of BL2.  Have you tried
booting any bzimages with that one?
