Subject: [PATCH] Kexec on panic vmlinux initrd fix
Date: Tue, 21 Jun 2005 14:52:23 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050621092223.GE3746@in.ibm.com> (raw)
Hi,
This is a minor bug fix in kexec to resolve the problem of loading panic
kernel with initrd.
Thanks
Vivek
o Problem: Loading a capture kenrel fails if initrd is also being loaded.
This has been observed for vmlinux image for kexec on panic case.
o This patch fixes the problem. In segment location and size verification
logic, minor correction has been done. Segment memory end (mend) should be
mstart + memsz - 1. This one byte offset was source of failure for initrd
loading which was being loaded at hole boundary.
