I ran into a problem not seen in kexec/dkump 2.6.17rc5 ia64 patch.
The system on test was an Altix.
The system was booted up fine; however, after loading 'kexec -p'
and "echo c >/proc/sysrq-triggeŕ", the crashdump kernel would try
to boot up and restarted the system near the end of init().
The extraodinary message observed on the console was
Warning: unable to open an initial console
but the actual reboot seems to be invoked in running /sbin/init:
run_init_process("/sbin/init");
The problem is 100% reproducible. I have disabled all cpus except
cpu0 in my testing.
Is this a known problem? Anyone else runs into this?
Thanks,
- jay
