I've noticed that the ROLO doesn't display errors properly (should have
sent a patch or something about it, I guess :), so it could be that the
.mod you try to load has an incorrect checksum. That could be the
problem, as I've managed to make the compiler generate a binary that was
an odd number of bytes long. The scrambler doesn't like that... :) (That
problem has been reported on this mailing list though).
