Hey all, I'm having troubles to kexec recent kernels on Playstation 3. After issuing kexec -l <vmlinux> --initrd=<initrd> kexec -e the screen stays black. I tracked this down in the suse kernel and it seems related to a patch with the Subject: USB: fix interrupt disabling for HCDs with shared interrupt handlers. This patch went mainline with 2.6.26 and the most likely reason why it has not been discovered yet may be because USB is compiled as a module in most cases. However the suse config has it compiled into the kernel and this causes some mischief. It would be nice if somebody could try this on other distros as well. I'm attaching an altered ps3_defconfig (from geoffs git) that has USB compiled in. So all you need to do is compile a recent kernel (2.6.26) with that config and it should hang right after kexec.
