[please CC me as I am not subscribed] Hi,
when building a kernel for powerpc32 (PowerBook6,8 / 7447A) I can select CONFIG_KEXEC. However, after booting I can't convince kexec (from kexec-tools, latest git checkout) to load the kernel: # /opt/kexec-tools/sbin/kexec -l /boot/2.6/zImage --append="root=/dev/hda6" get_memory_ranges(): Unsupported platform Could not get memory layout Can anybody comment on wether or not kexec is supported on this platform? If not, is this a limitation of kexec-tools or the kernel? If it's the latter, can't the option be hidden/disabled in Kconfig for this platform? Then again, from looking at the Kconfig files, I see that the "74xx" CPU is among quite a few CPU types and so PPC_BOOK3S_32 is selected, and then ALTIVEC selects 6xx which in turn selects PPC_BOOK3S - so, I guess !PPC_BOOK3S for KEXEC is not an option here? Thanks, Christian. -- BOFH excuse #69: knot in cables caused data stream to become twisted and kinked _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
