Does IA64 kexec handle "--append" differently? On x86_64 its kexec -l --append="dom0_mem=1G -- root=/dev/hda2" --vmm="/boot/xen.gz" "/boot/vmlinux.gz" note I put an equals sign after the "--append" and "--vmm". I believe that /sbin/kexec thinks that you're trying to load the kernel.

Thanks, I knew it had to be user error. I missed the = after append. That not only solved the execution of the kexec tool command, but allowed the full kexec back into xen/dom0 to work too! Must be a bug somewhere with the NULL cmdline. Thanks!
