On the machines that worked I could see the correct contents, starting 65 63 ... the first two characters of "echo". On the machines that didn't work, the dump was of the same location in memory, but everything was zeroed out. I've confirmed that the kernel command line comes through on all these machines by booting into Linux and looking at /proc/cmdline.
