Probably just -ENOTIME ...

The domain builder patches are available from
http://www.suse.de/~kraxel/patches/

It includes a new elf parser which switches elfsize and endianess at
runtime and should be able to parse any kernel binary.  Feel free to
play with it.  Note that ia64 is compile-tested only so far, so you
might run into bugs even with little-endian domains.

cheers,
