I got this a while ago and solved it by moving linexec-j720.exe to the
root directory of my cf card. I think it also works if you put it in the
my documents directory. Also check your params.txt file is correct.

The other working boot loader is hpcboot although I personally find
linexec nicer to use as it immediately boots you into linux upon clicking
the icon, whereas hpcboot requires you to setup some options first.
