You should always try with the latest version when asking for help  
(even if you will eventually need to use an older version for some  
other (usually not very good) reason).

Are you sure that's where it's failing?  It could be that you just  
can't single step through that boot phase.  There were recently applied  
patches to shrink the "undebuggable" window somewhat.

If that's not it, probably there's no IPROT TLB entry covering the  
address you're running out of, or covering the initial RAM area.  Have  
you tried dumping the TLB?
