Anyone else? List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: kexec-bounces@lists.infradead.org Errors-To: kexec-bounces+dwmw2=infradead.org@lists.infradead.org To: kexec@lists.infradead.org Hi, My root disk was populated with sles10sp2, but the kernel was 2.6.27-rc5 and /sbin/kexec was built from 2.0.0 version. Many times when kdump kernel failed early i found after reboot that /sbin/kexec became zero size. There was no warning on executing '/etc/init.d/kdump start' when /sbin/kexec is zero size. I have no idea when and how that happened. Has anyone else seen this problem? Thanks, jay a4700rac:/sbin # ll kexec* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 2008-09-17 12:41 kexec -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 387635 2008-07-23 07:25 kexec-2.0.0 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 320632 2008-04-21 17:31 kexec-sles10sp2 a4700rac:/sbin # /etc/init.d/kdump start Loading kdump Loading kdump kernel: /sbin/kexec -p /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-rc5-default --append="CRASH=1 root=/dev/sda8 shub2 console=ttySG0,115200 thash_entries=2097152 ro elevator=deadline sysrq=1 reset_devices irqpoll maxcpus=1 3" --initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.27-rc5-default --noio done a4700rac:/sbin # _______________________________________________ kexec mailing list kexec@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec
