I've gotten the kexec to work without any modifications to it, although I did recompress the initrd.lz to .gz (Not sure if I needed to, haven't tried reverting back to lz yet).
I get past the kexec jump and it starts to boot the Mythbuntu 9.10 'cd' (actually /dev/sdb2 on the bootloader stick) but I get to an error 'Unable to find a medium containing a live filesystem'.
