Thanks a lot for working that out. It does indeed seem to solve the
problem, though I wonder adding an alignment parameter to
crash_create_XXX_headers(), as per the patch below, is a better
way to achive this.

I believe that Bernhard is using the kexec-tools-testing tree.
It would be totally awsome if you could check that code
out some time and see if it works for you.

Subject: kexec-tools: Add alignment parameter to crash_create_XXX_headers
From: Simon Horman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

crash_create_XXX_headers assumes that all arhitectures need an alignment of
1024bytes. But on ia64 at least this is not true. This patch adds an
alignment parameter to crash_create_XXX_headers, and calls passes
a value of 1024 for all architectures except ia64, where EFI_PAGE_SIZE (4096)
is passed.

If there are problems with alignment on other architectures hopefully
this facility will work for them too.
