No, I've been side-tracked on too many other things to follow up on that:-(

Also worth using the bleeding edge kexec-tools (i.e. build from source),
especially if you want to anything device-tree related.

Back to the SMP point: Stephen, did you ever get anywhere with that
disable_nonboot_cpus thread from a few months back? I'm still keen to get
that working, and I *thought* we had a potential solution...

Oh well, you've exhausted my knowledge I'm afraid! I can only suggesting
trying to enable earlyprintk and/or uncompressor debug in the kernel
you're kexec'ing and see if that yields any clue. Either that, or JTAG!

Thanks for your attention.

I do disable SMP feature. And the .config file for v3.8 could be found here:
http://pastehtml.com/view/cylyrfejt.txt

The log and operation could be found here:
http://pastehtml.com/view/cylyfrb3a.txt

Some key setting list below.

bootargs:
rw vram=32M fixrtc mem=1G@0x8000 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2
console=ttyO2,115200n8 rootwait crashkernel=64M@0x8200

operation:
/ # ./kexec -l  --append="rw vram=32M fixrtc  root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 console=ttyO2,
115200n8 rootwait" uImage
/ # ./kexec -d -e

The output:
[   57.373687] Starting new kernel
[   57.377044] Bye!

Then system hangs.

This is a shot in the dark. I assume you have SMP enabled. Can you use
hotplug to remove all CPUs other than CPU0, so that the kexec happens on
the boot CPU? That is certainly necessary for kexec to work correctly on
Tegra.

Kexec couldn't reboot capture kernel on pandaboard ES with OMAP4460

2013-04-10 Thread Li Haifeng
Hi, everyone.

Recently, I try to run kdump on pandaboard ES with omap4460. After
load capture kernel by "kexec -l" and execute "kexec -e", the serial
port output "Starting new kernel" and "Bye", then the system hangs up.

I have tried the upstream Linux Kernel v3.4 and v3.8. All are with this issue.

Could you tell my why and how to solve this issue?

Thanks very much.
