This issue has been reported before on this list. My recommendation then 
was to try placing the kernel in the root directory, and try loading from 
there.

load -b 0x00218000 -m disk hda1:/vmlinux

This works for me. My suspicion is that the ext2 code in redboot is fairly 
rudimentary. There was no feedback from this guess, so I'm not sure if it 
will work - but it's worth a try. If it works please report back saying so.
