It all depends on the architecture you're working on. Different
architectures have different boot requirements.

For example: on ARM, you shouldn't mess with kernel symbols at all, and
just jump to the start of the kernel image with r0-r1 set to some
specific values. Other architectures might have different ways to boot
a kernel.

You didn't specify what architecture you're using, so I can't really
help you.
