Hi Suchada,

What kernel version you are trying? Also what level of kexec-tools you use?

I hope you are aware that you need two different kernels for kdump, 
first one is meant for normal use and another one is kdump kernel. Did 
you compile the kdump kernel with CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP?

There was a interrupt routing problem with specific ppc970 cpu type, but 
that problem is fixed now.
