Subject: [PATCH] Remove the 'bzImage' warning from manpage
Date: Thu, 8 May 2008 18:01:03 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080508160103.GA30762@suse.de> (raw)
This patch removes the warning
Compressed kernel images such as bzImage are not supported by kexec.
Use the uncompressed vmlinux.
from the manual page as this is wrong now. Contrary, the usage of bzImage for
kdump is recommended because on x86_64 it's the only way to use a relocatable
kernel for dumping.
