At least on Asus WL-500gP. I'm not familiar with broadcom CPU names, but isn't BCM43XX supposed to be a Wifi chipset ? :) However, could you kexec a kernel from a kernel that has CONFIG_MIPS_UNCACHED set (under "Kernel hacking", "run uncached")? this will slow down the kernel that does the kexec, but if this works, then it is most probably a cache problem. Could you also indicate the last lines of kernel messages just before the "Bye." ? Are you trying to kexec a big kernel image ? how much RAM do you have on the board ? are there some hardware that could have a hard time to be re-probed by the kexeced linux kernel ?
