I think the above output says that the compressed image extends to
0x02f58efc, and that the uncompressed image goes from zero to 0x165ca04. 
So no conflict (you should get an error message in case of conflict) with
0x01900000.

Either that or something is wrong with the kernel itself.  This is the
point at which it transfers control to the main kernel.
