Hi

I am trying KDUMP feature on ARM Versatile Express Cortex-A15 target.

Target - Daughterboard Site 1: V2P-CA15_A7 Cortex A15
Kernel - git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
kexec-tools - git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/kernel/kexec/kexec-tools.git

I have referred the
https://wiki.linaro.org/KenWerner/Sandbox/crash-utility and passed
crashkernel command line argument as below

crashkernel=128M at 0x20000000

My command line arguments is bootargs="root=/dev/nfs rw ip=dhcp
console=ttyAMA0,38400n8 nosmp crashkernel=128M at 0x20000000"

But the target is got stuck as below

.........
................
Loading: #

Bytes transferred = 12141 (2f6d hex)
## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 80000000 ...

Can anybody please suggest me a proper crashkernel=X at Y ?
