Where you booting the kernel as an UEFI application, or were you using the Linux loader? The latter arguably isn't a UEFI boot because the kernel doesn't know of or have access to UEFI (and arguably said laoder shouldn't even be there). I've just had a go on Juno, but I wasn't able to get the tool to work. It seems that it's unhappy with the DTB because the EFI stub deleted the memory nodes (to enforce use of the UEFI memory map). I'm not sure what the tool needs to parse the memory map for, so I don't know what the best way around that is. nanook@localhost:~/opt/sbin$ ./kexec /home/nanook/vmlinux kexec version: 14.10.02.15.58-g706fbeb Modified cmdline: root=/dev/nfs Unable to find /proc/device-tree//chosen/linux,stdout-path, printing from purgatory is diabled get_memory_ranges_dt:756: Invalid /proc/device-tree. kexec: kexec/arch/arm64/kexec-arm64.c:625: virt_to_phys: Assertion `arm64_mem.memstart' failed.
