Nope. Kernel has nothing to do with it. That won't work.

I had also previously tried " make clean all install

You could just do "ln -sf /boot/loader_4th /boot/loader" and reboot if
that's the issue. Or at the boot2 prompt, you could type in
/boot/loader_4th if you haven't booted yet.

You could also do a simple 'make install LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP=4th" which
does approximately the same thing.

Though why you'd get loader.lua not found is kinda crazy
