I have two kernels: the kernel I want to kexec from and the one I want to kexec to. From what I've read, the kernel I kexec from needs to have kexec support (CONFIG_KEXEC=y) and the kernel I want to kexec to needs to be relocatable. It appears from: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/2007-April/000012.html that this configuration option (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE) is no longer required. I am going to dig around a bit more to see if I can find out more on how to build a relocatable x86_64 kernel. Please correct me if I am missing something here. >> $ kexec -l /tmp/vmlinuz >> Unhandled rela relocation: 4258616 >> >> I noticed this line in the source file, >> kexec/arch/x86_64/kexec-elf-rel-x86_64.c: >> >> die("Unhandled rela relocation: %lu\n", reloc_name(r_type)); >> >> I figured %lu should be %s, so I changed it, and got the following >> output: > > Can you make a patch and send it to this list so that it get fixed in > kexec-tools-testing?
