This is good news.

Is it an _asm outb? The stack was working up to that point so I would 
assume it is good. Seems like a different problem. In your payload can 
you do a push/pop test?

As for 1MB and above, it sounds like GLIUInit() isn't running correctly. 
Can you dump RCONF and GLIU MSRs? Something like v2 print_conf() in the 
norwich\mainboard.c.
