Can you give more details like - Which distro release you are running. - Exactly what changes did you do to /etc/init.d/reboot and what steps did you follow to load the kernel (command line options). - What do you see on screen? Did the new kernel start booting at all. - Would be nice if I can get serial console output. > > I'm using kexec-tools-1.101, are there any more patches needed? > For normal kexec, no. You don't need any more patches. Thanks Vivek
