To reproduce this bug, you need to have your kernel compiled with CONFIG_KEXEC and CONFIG_ATAGS. Depending on the version of kexec-tools being used, you may need to patch arch_map_entry in kexec/arch/arm/kexec-arm.c to add the armv7l uname of the kernel. kexec will throw "Unsupported machine type" if you don't.

Then simply load a vmlinux file with: kexec -l /boot/vmlinux --append=root=/dev/hda1
--initrd=/boot/initrd followed by a kexec -e
