I loaded a crash kernel into a freshly-built 2.6.30rc4 instance using the Ubuntu scripts, and then triggered a crash with echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger. The result was a kernel oops due to a null pointer deference in machine_kexec_32.c around line 197: #ifdef CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP if (kexec_image->preserve_context) kexec_image is NULL in this situation because kexec_crash_image (a.k.a. the image parameter) is meant to be used instead. I tracked down the commit for you: <http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=3122c331190e9d1622bf1c8cf6ce3b17cca67c9e> Presumably the feature has been broken since that time.
