Hi,

MIPS support was merged into kexec-tools-testing-20080324.
However, as far as I could tell it only supports one of the
many boot protocols that are used by various MIPS machines.

If things aren't working for a particular peice of hardware, I would
start by looking into what boot protocol the kernel uses on that
machine, and making sure that kexec-tools understands it.

As always if there are any patches for MIPS for kexec-tools, please send
them to me and this list.
