Hi Vivek,
I can't seem to get the latest -mm (2.6.24-rc6-mm1) to boot with
kexec. It just gets stuck at "Starting new kernel".
It does boot normally when booted as the first kernel.
Any hints debugging? (x86 architecture)
I generally try few things.
- Specify earlyprintk= parameter for second kernel and see if control
is reaching to second kernel.
- Otherwise specify --console-serial parameter on "kexec -l" commandline
and it should display a message "I am in purgatory" on serial console.
This will just mean that control has reached at least till purgatory.
Ok, so it reaches till here. I get "I'm in purgatory" on the console.
One more thing. Is 2.6.24-rc6 working properly?
2.6.24-rc5 boots, so does 2.6.24-rc5-mm1. 2.6.24-rc6 does not boot, nor
does 2.6.24-rc6-mm1. Its a regression.
Added to the list of reported regressions as:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9682
I've no clue what I managed to do wrong last night, probably tried to boot
2.6.24-rc6-mm1 thinking it was 2.6.24-rc6. 2.6.24-rc6 boots, but -mm
does not. Sorry for the noise.
Dropped from the regression list and changed the bugzilla entry to an -mm bug.
Thanks,
Rafael
