If you used svn you should have recent enough sources.

Your output looks really strange, as bootstrap would try to load garbled
memory. There should be some paths after 'Loading'. So, just start with
a really small test which keeps things simple:

kernel .../bootstrap -serial
modaddr 0x2000000
modules .../fiasco -serial_esc
modules .../sigma0
modules .../roottask
modules .../hello

This should print you many "Hello World" messages on the screen. Does
this work?
