I've put "break=init" on the command line so it gives me a shell just before pivoting root from the initrd to the hard-disk. I do the kexec -l and kexec -e, the kernel (re)starts, does all of the usual startup things, and drops me back in a shell when it's about to start init (break=init, remember?) At this point, when I try to run almost any command, for example "chroot /root bash", I get "Segmentation fault" with general protection logged in dmesg, for example: "bash[1058] general protection ip:b7f0c425 sb:bfb282f4 error:0" No doubt I'm making a basic mistake, but Google failed to show me what, hence I'm asking here for suggestions. Has anyone any suggestion? Thanks, David _______________________________________________ kexec mailing list kexec@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec
