(even with kexec 2.0.18) Furthermore, I have added crashkernel=128M to the cmdlist I have verified that the reservation is working: 20000000-9fffffff : System RAM 20008000-207fffff : Kernel code 20900000-209a0c87 : Kernel data 40000000-47ffffff : Crash kernel But even with this reservation, no change. _______________________________________________ kexec mailing list kexec@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec
