Kexec on ARM?

All,
After compiling the exec tools from my ubuntu machine to run on an ARMv7 target,

1)	I loaded the kernel using : kexec  -f uImage --append="$ ( cat /proc/cmdline )"
2)	Afterwards, I ran: kexec -e 

Note: uImage was successfully loaded using u-boot.

>From my serial output, I get the following messages:

Bye!
Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.   And it just hangs there.

Occasionaly, it goes further and actually prints:

Linux version xxxxxx 
Date: XXX
CPU:XXX
Machine:XXX
Early serial console at MMIO32 0Xxxxxxxxxx

Does anyone have any idea on how to help fix this.

I am also constrained to use kexect-tools 2.0.2




Thanks,
