Which bootloader are you using?
I use PMON (provided from NEC).
PMON load from serial or ethernet to 0x80100000.
This is specified by arch/mips/Makefile.
When you type "g", PMON is jumped to kernel_entry.
When PMON does not recognize kernel_entry,
you can investigate System.map and can specify an address.
