Is it a UEFI box? If it's uefi machine, it should relate to below issue.
Because kexec always fails to randomly choose a new position for kernel.

The current kexec code fills boot_params->efi_info->efi_loader_signature,
but doesn't contruct efi_memmap table. The kexec/kdump kernel will always
fail to find available slot for KASLR in process_efi_entries.
