Hi Maikel,
I have a couple of queries (so that I can help you better). Please see
them in-line:

Hi,
I have met an issue during loading a new kernel with Kexec on an ARMv5 SoC. The kernel is a 4.19 with Gzip compression but during loading Kexec does not recognize the compression.
If I load the new kernel and dtb with:
kexec -l /boot/zImage -d --dtb=/boot/u-boot.dtb
Can you please show the output of the following command:
$ file /boot/zImage
Also can you please make sure that the zImage has the right gzip header
: magic header 0x1f, 0x8b (\037 \213)
The output is:
Try gzip decompression.
Try LZMA decompression.
lzma_decompress_file: read on /boot/zImage of 65536 bytes failed

segment[1].buf = 0x1fcf060
segment[1].bufsz = 0x245b
segment[1].mem = 0x16f2000
segment[1].memsz = 0x3000
Looking at the debug, the function gzdirect returns “1” which indicates the kernel compression is not of gzip but I definitely use gzip. I also tested it with LZMA compression and uImage instead of zImage but all with the same outcome.
To be complete, I use Kexec-tools 2.0.19 and zlib 1.2.11.
Did I implement something wrong or how can I debug this further?
I don't have a armv5 hardware and my attempt to setup a qemu + buildroot
setup for ARMv5 (926t) lead to a failure to boot the latest upstream kernel.
I will try to fix up the setup and come back with more details.
In the meanwhile if you can share the above, I can have further look at
the same.
Thanks,
Bhupesh
