Hi Mike,

that looks a lot like a problem with kexec-tools parsing command line
arguments to me. However I'm not having much luck reproducing it here.
I'll poke a bit more.

Did you get kexec-tools-testing 20080318-rc as a tarball from
kernel.org? I just want to make sure we are looking at the same code.
