No - I've been seeing it on the c3600 as well.
I haven't tried 64-bit kernels.
And downgrading iplboot to 1.3 also solves it for me too.

palo 1.3 deb is available here in case someone has upgraded:

thanks to paul bame for keeping those around.

nope...have to look at palo since it doesn't matter which
kernel I attempt to boot, it doesn't work.

Note that I tried to build palo v1.2 and that failed the same way.
So it's possibly a compiler issue with real-mode code.
(Not that the compiler knows the difference...)
