Thanks for the report and fix Stefan! Although the LP is a bit old, I
think worth to mention here the patches that fix boths issues (the
"Unknown type (Reserved) while parsing" message and the "ELF core
(kcore) parse failed" bug) - both present in kexec-tools as fixes due to
Linux kernel
Same error Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS, kexec-tools apt-installed today, Kernel
4.12.2, Skylake HM170, nVidia GTX 970M, NVMe M.2 Gen 3x4 SSD:
$ sudo kexec -l /boot/vmlinuz-`uname -r` --initrd=/boot/initrd.img-`uname -r`
--reuse-cmdline
Unknown type (Reserved) while parsing /sys/firmware/memmap/15/type.
This bug was fixed in the package kexec-tools - 1:2.0.15-0ubuntu1

kexec-tools (1:2.0.15-0ubuntu1) artful; urgency=medium
* New upstream version (LP: #1713940):
- Modified:
- distclean_fix.patch
Hunk which modified purgatory makefile went upstream
- Dropped
The delta indeed does appear to majority bug fixes, the only new
features look to be arm64 crash support which we were already carrying
in the ubuntu delta so can be ignored. Sponsored to artful.
