I'm sticking this back on the list so others can suggest things as well.

I don't think your problem is related to size.  The elf image is found
but failed to load properly.  I believe the size is embedded in the
elf segment.  If your sizes were all wrong I would expect that it
either wouldn't boot or it would not find the payload.

Are you using XIP?  If so you might try turning it off.

You will probally have to go look in the elf load code and see what
causes that message I've not looked at the elf load code so I don't
have many suggestions.

Is you adlo.elf really a valid elf image?  What do you get for a
'readelf -a adlo.elf'
