To clarify a bit (if it has been unclear before): the kexec userland complains about a malformed bzImage when I try to run the "kexec ..." command. It might be that the BIOS will put more spokes in my wheel, but my first problem is kexec (the userland utility) which does not like my bzImage: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/michael# kexec hello.bin Cannot determine the file type of hello.bin [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/michael# kexec -t bzImage hello.bin Cannot determine the file type of hello.bin [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/michael# kexec -t bzImage --real-mode hello.bin Cannot determine the file type of hello.bin Loading a "real" kernel works (and kexec autodetects the format properly).
