kexec patch I had sent out earlier has bug where it appends "kexec_reboot" to kernel parameters blindly. After several kexec reboots from kexec'd kernel, kernel parameters line becomes too long and kernel fails to boot. Attached patch will cure this. Patch kexec-ia64-reboot.diff can be applied on top of the previous patch I had sent. Patch 2.6.8.1-kexec3-ia64-2.diff includes this fix and is repalcement for my previous patch. My current kexec patches for ia64 can also be found at . -- Khalid ==================================================================== Khalid Aziz Linux and Open Source Lab (970)898-9214 Hewlett-Packard khalid_aziz@hp.com Fort Collins, CO "The Linux kernel is subject to relentless development" - Alessandro Rubini
