I found a patch posted by Jonathan Lim to the fastboot list in March 2007: https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/fastboot/2007-March/013645.html I applied his patch to kexec-tools-testing-20080227 and it indeed fixed the problem on IA64. But Magnum Dammn came back with a revised patch and had some discussion exchange with Vivek on the thread. Unfortunately, Magnum since then did not work on kexec/kdump any more before a final version was agreed upon. - jay
