You probably get this error because you did not use the "-r XXX" option to
'fix create'.  If you don't use this option, 'fis' does not know where in
memory to load your image.  Alternatively, you could 'fis load vmlinux -b XXX'

If you provide the _exact_ output of what you try, we can possibly help more.
