I'm seeing this too (also on intrepid; clean amd64 install in my cause, though).
If I modify my grub config and change "crashkernel=384M- 2G:6...@16m,2G-:1...@16m" to "crashkernel=...@16m", kexec no longer errors out with "please reserve memory ...". I'm not familiar with that more complex crashkernel=... syntax, but it apparently does not work with Ubuntu's intrepid kernels. (Maybe it works for some people?) However, now kexec errors out with "Command line overflow". I think Ubuntu kernels *do* support longer kernel command lines, and after reading https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=257968, I suspect this problem is with Ubuntu's kexec assuming on its own that the command line limit is 256 chars. I realize this is a separate bug, but I suspect anyone who gets past the original bug will hit this one. ** Bug watch added: Novell/SUSE Bugzilla #257968 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=257968 -- linux-crashdump fails to record crash; reports memory not reserved https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/321970 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
