This should be answered on the test mailing list, but

it is likely not a corrupted image.  Depending on which kernel you are
running you may need to Append "vdso=0" to the grub kernel boot line.
Something like:

   kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.4-1.305 ro root=LABEL=/ enforcing=1 vdso=0

Search the test mailing list archives for vdso=0 ....
