The Android image format makes the same mistake as the U-Boot uImage format: It makes the load address mandatory. In a way it is even worse since the 'fastboot' host tool thinks that 0x10000000 is a good default when no address has been specified on the command line. Instead of only relying on the Kernel load address in the image try to automatically find a good base address when requesting the addresses from the image failed.
