Comment:

 kexec requires a zImage; it cannot boot a uImage.  The zImage file can be
 found in the arch/arm/boot directory after the kernel is built. Itis,
 unfortunately, not packaged in the standard repositories nor present on
 the standard images.  The various distro owners will have to determine how
 to arrange for the alternate format.

 (tested on a gta01 with the current "stable" kernel - boots fine.)
