Git rev 315afb92ebc20e44a2d20bb4e9ed724418f20b0f. Compiled from source, config has:
CONFIG_KERNEL_KEXEC=y
CONFIG_PACKAGE_kexec-tools=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_TOOLS_kdump=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_ZLIB=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_LZMA=y
No other changes made from defaults.
Target platform is TP-Link Archer C2600 (ipq806x). Attempting to run kexec on the device flashed with this build using a variety of kernels (zImage and uImage tested) results in the following:
kexec -t zImage -d --command-line= --atags -f vmlinux.elf
Try gzip decompression.
Try LZMA decompression.

Has anyone successfully used kexec on ARM recently? Any ideas?
Thanks!
