I am planning to relocate my kernel at the very bottom of memory and start it from there. Had it been tried yet? I am thinking of linking the kernel at 0x00000000 then prepending to that image a custom boot.S linked to start at 1Meg. Boot.S then relocates the kernel and boot modules below 1Meg then jump to 0x00000000.
