All, After compiling the exec tools from my ubuntu machine to run on an ARMv7 target, 1) I loaded the kernel using : kexec -f uImage --append="$ ( cat /proc/cmdline )" 2) Afterwards, I ran: kexec -e Note: uImage was successfully loaded using u-boot. >From my serial output, I get the following messages: Bye! Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel. And it just hangs there. Occasionaly, it goes further and actually prints: Linux version xxxxxx Date: XXX CPU:XXX Machine:XXX Early serial console at MMIO32 0Xxxxxxxxxx Does anyone have any idea on how to help fix this. I am also constrained to use kexect-tools 2.0.2 Thanks,
