I am using the OSDL versions of the kexec patches for
2.5.59 (plm 1442 and 1444) for lkcd-kexec based crash dump
work. So far I had only been trying the cases where 
machine_kexec was being invoked directly from (safe)
panics, which worked, i.e. it could successfully kexec and 
save dumps generated via artificially induced panics on
a system that's not doing very much (Not considering harder 
cases or for the moment).

Surprisingly though, when I tried just a simple 
kexec -e today (having loaded the kernel earlier on), 
I ran into the following Oops, consistently:

I'm using kexec-tools-1.8, and this has worked for me
earlier. The test system is a 4way SMP machine.

Has anyone seen this as well ?  (I'd already issued init 1 
and unmounted filesystems by this point)
