You're trying to load code into non-existent memory, or
into memory that RedBoot is using itself.  Try starting up
RedBoot to a "terminal" (like minicom) and running the
"version" command.  This will display the available memory
range.  For example:
  RAM: 0x00000000-0x00800000, 0x0002eab0-0x007ed000 available
says that this platform has 8MB, but only the RAM from 0x0002eab0
through 0x007ed000 can be used to load programs.  (the rest
is in use by RedBoot itself)
