--- Comment #1 from Timothy Pearson <tpearson@raptorengineering.com> ---
A few notes for anyone looking at this bug:

 * The issue may be somewhere in kexec-lite *or* in how the FreeBSD kernel is
"packaged", i.e. the exact section layout.

 * kexec-lite was upgraded in the new firmware, and issues were noted with
kexec-lite back in the 2018 timeframe, however all previously known required
patches for kexec-lite were included in the new firmware release.

 * kexec-lite may not receive much testing with BSD kernels

 * The Linux kernel was also updated to 6.6.y, and it's possible that new
security features are interfering with the kexec() call when used with FreeBSD
kernels.
