I've seen this on EFI based systems with older kernel versions. It
worked with the base kernel in utopic. If anyone has any more
information that could potentially point me to a solution that doesn't
require a kernel change that would be preferred.

Title:
  kexec linux hangs

Status in kexec-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:

  wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/linux
  sudo kexec --load linux
