2.6.13.1 - Failed boot of "kdump" kernel

[Harry Edmon <harry@atmos.washington.edu>]

I am using kexec and SYSRQ to boot up a "kdump" kernel on a Dual Xeon 
system (and yes, I have SMP off on the second kernel per the 
instructions in Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt).  The second kernel that 
I loaded with kexec is crashing on boot.  Here is the output from the 
serial console:

SysRq : Trigger a crashdump
I'm in purgatory
