Hi,
Now kexec'ed kernel in a PPC64 machine does not reserve memory for crashkernel
region. So kexec'ed kernel can not load kdump kernel reliably.
Attached kexec-tools patch reserves memory for kdump kernel by adding an entry
in the reserve memory table. So while kexec'ed kernel is booting, it reserves
memory for crashkernel region.
Regards,
Mohan.
In PPC64, kexec'ed kernel does not reserve memory for crashkernel. So
kexec'ed kernel can not load kdump kernel reliably.
reserve-crashkernel-mem patch adds a reserve entry for crashkernel to the
reserve memory list, so that kexec'ed kernel reserves memory for kdump kernel.
This is done when user passes --append="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" parameter to
kexec command. If user does not pass crashkernel option, memory is not
reserved for kdump kernel.
