Tried again with the kernel at http://people.canonical.com/~roc/kernel/kexec/ prepared by Bryan from the sources at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=roc/ubuntu- lucid.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/kexec-versatile:
qemu-system-arm -m 256 -drive file=lucid.img,media=disk -M versatilepb -cpu cortex-a8 -kernel linux- image-2.6.32-16-versatile_2.6.32-16.24/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-16-versatile -append 'root=/dev/sda console=ttyAMA0,115200 S' -nographic kexec -l vmlinuz-2.6.32-16-versatile --append="rootwait root=/dev/sda console=ttyAMA0,115200 S" kexec -e All I get is: [ 87.854989] Starting new kernel But at least it doesn't dump core anymore; apparently it avoids writing bogus data over the I/O space. I also tried without rootwait, but I really get no more output after "Starting new kernel" despite the use of a serial console. -- armel/versatile: Can't kexec https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/518567 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
