Subject: Re: status of kexec for ppc on 2.6.10, any gotchas?
Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2005 16:32:08 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20051021110208.GA3612@in.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <435876B8.9000706@nortel.com>
Kexec support involves kernel level support per architecture and
a user space kexec-tools.
Generic kexec kernel support for ppc (ppc32/GameCube) was added
sometime back by Albert Herranz, and I think they got included in 2.6.10-mm1
as per:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.10/2.6.10-mm1/broken-out/
Albert's code was also posted on this site:
http://www.gc-linux.org/down/isobel/kexec/
ppc64 kexec kernel support was added recently (2.6.12-rc4-mm1)
Eric's site can be used for downloading the kexec-tools.
You may want to cross post kexec discussion mails to fastboot@osdl.org,
as that is the primary list where all kexec discussions happen.
Hope this helps
Thanks and Regards,
Sharada
