hmm, I have not seen such a behavior. - what happens with the latest (bd30437c6292) makedumpfile? - is it possible to get makedumpfile logs with "--message-level 31" on sysrq crash and other reasons? (to compare the logs including stats) Thanks, Kazu _______________________________________________ kexec mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec
