In any case, it might make sense to move this up, as the "could not load kernel 'plahh'" message seems more useful than "Could not get IPL PSW"... Also, further below we copy ipl->cmdline if we think we're dealing with a Linux image. Would it make sense to explicitly check for the Linux magic there as well? (Separate patch, of course.) Can/should netboot do a similar check? It uses KERN_IMAGE_START unconditionally if it wasn't an ELF file.
