Please copy all the mails related to kexec and kdump problems to fastboot mailing list also ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Instead of modifying reboot scripts, first can you try following simple steps from shell. 1. Load the kernel. #kexec -l <kernel-image> --append=<boot time options> 2. Drop to run level 3 # init 3 3. Exec into second kernel # kexec -e Thanks Vivek - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
