--- Begin Message ---Package: kexec-tools Version: 1:2.0.4-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear Maintainer, One of those bugs that make me wonder why nobody else came across them. Severity left to normal although it's a grave functionality bug but it might be caused by some of the non-Debian components on my system. This is a Raspberry Pi, running Debian wheezy in the armel architecture, on a home-brew 3.10.x vmlinux kernel (the fork provided by the Raspberry folks), and also a home-brew initrd. Now trying out an 3.14 vanilla kernel using a DTB I tried kexec from jessie for the --dtb option, but when using --load I instead got: Base address: cffea0 is not page aligned Digging around in the code revealed initrd_base is simply computed from the kernel image size without asserting any page alignment. The patch below fixes this for that specific use case and resulted in successful reboot using a 3.10 kernel while 3.14 fails, for reasons that are very likely are outside kexec's domain. Please review carefully, perhaps with the help of people who have more understanding of the code than I do. Also other architectures should be checked whether the same issue exists there, too. At a first glance it seems they are not affected but I might be wrong.
