Hi, I have setup the system with two kernels (2.6.25) for kexec/kdump utility. I am using this command to load kernel. Please comment if its correct. vmlinux is the dump kernel. kexec -p /boot/vmlinux --initrd=2.6.25-default-kdump --args-linux --append="root=/dev/sda1 init 1 irqpoll" After I execute this command. Should I expect any prompt that kernel loaded successfully? Because if I execute the sequence alt-SysReq-c after this to force crash my system hangs. Nothing seems to proceed further. How do I check if the kernel is loaded successfully? Because if I execute the "-u" unload option I do not get any error either that kernel is not loaded or something. Nothing seems to happen over there. Your timely help would be much appreciated as I need to get this fixed as soon as possible as my project progress is stopped as I am not able to analyse the reason for crash. Thank you, Mrunal -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/attachments/20080428/e0ef3c8d/attachment.html
