Hi all, I've got an x86_64 kernel with CONFIG_KEXEC=y, running a 32-bit userspace. I'm using the latest kexec-tools-testing from 27-Feb-2008.
Just to try basic kexec functionality I tried loading my vmlinux file and got the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/root> ./kexec -l vmlinux Cannot determine the file type of vmlinux Just for kicks I tried using a bzImage file and it seems to work--at least I can successfully trigger a kexec and reboot to a command prompt. Can someone explain what's going on? Is x86_64 not supported for vmlinux files? Also, I'm hoping to eventually get kdump working for this kernel. According to the testing logs at "http://lse.sourceforge.net/kdump/kdump-test-x86_64.html"; it looks like 2.6.15 has at least basic support for kdump on x86_64 so I'm hoping to use that as a starting point. I'll be looking at the git source and lkml/fastboot archives for patches, but does anyone happen to have any pointers as to what's necessary to backport this? Also, is there a searchable fastboot archive anywhere? Please cc me as I'm not subscribed to the list. Thanks, Chris _______________________________________________ fastboot mailing list fastboot@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/fastboot
