Just FYI, I tried this and the kernel booted:

./kexec -l -t elf-ppc64 --append='[EMAIL PROTECTED] root=/dev/nfs rw ip=dhcp 
video=wuxga' /boot/vmlinux.strip

I saw this output:

kexec: waiting for cpu 1 (physical 1) to go down
Reserving 64MB of memory at 32MB for crashkernel (System RAM: 128MB)
...
Kernel command line: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root=/dev/nfs rw ip=dhcp video=wuxga
