There is nothing obviously anomalous in those section headers, just the expected addition of the .notes section. The only thing that comes to mind is if this boot loader is reading the ELF phdrs and barfs on anything that is not a PT_LOAD, since the PT_NOTE is now there too (which a loader should be ignoring). Somebody who understands the boot loader in question will probably need to look at this.
