I used crashkernel=64M@64M .

I think I followed the instructions closely. Now I'm trying to do 

kexec -p /data/l/linux/vmlinux --args-linux --append="init=/bin/bash
kexec_jump_buf_pfn=`cat /sys/kernel/kexec_jump_buf_pfn`"

but it tells me:

Invalid memory segment 0x100000 - 0x7a0fff

(and nothing in dmesg) 

If I try to load bzImage (corresponding to vmlinux I tried to use),  I
get:

root@amd:~# kexec -p /data/l/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage --append="init=/bin/bash kexec_jump_buf_pfn=`cat /sys/kernel/kexec_jump_buf_pfn`"
Could not find a free area of memory of 9000 bytes...
locate_hole failed
root@amd:~#

What am I doing wrong?
