So yea, I suspect the hikey dts isn't quite right here then. I've always thought how it setup the memory was a bit strange: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm64/boot/dts/hisilicon/hi6220-hikey.dts#n30 So from your mail, I suspect the hole in the memory map for the pstore buffer isn't correct, and we should rework that. I'll give that a shot here and make sure pstore still works properly. thanks -john _______________________________________________ kexec mailing list kexec@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec
