+ help
+ The 2.4 kernel changed the kernel start address from 0x310000
+ to 0x810000 to make room for the Wildfire's larger SRM console.
+ Recent consoles on Titan and Marvel machines also require the
+ extra room.
+
+ If you're using aboot 0.7 or later, the bootloader will examine the
+ ELF headers to determine where to transfer control. Unfortunately,
+ most older bootloaders -- APB or MILO -- hardcoded the kernel start
+ address rather than examining the ELF headers, and the result is a
+ hard lockup.
+
+ Say Y if you have a broken bootloader. Say N if you do not, or if
+ you wish to run on Wildfire, Titan, or Marvel.
