I've tried to use kexec and this is what I get

[root at ps3 boot]# kexec -l /boot/vmlinux-2.6.32.2 --append="ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_ps3-lv_root
video=ps3fb:mode:3" --initrd=/boot/initramfs-2.6.32.2.img
get_memory_ranges(): Unsupported platform
Could not get memory layout

This is the version

kexec-tools-2.0.0-28.fc12.ppc.rpm

Whose fault is it?
