I agree it does look like a parsing bug but if I use the same commandline with a different kernel (e.g. RHEL5's kernel) kexec doesn't error out. > Did you get kexec-tools-testing 20080318-rc as a tarball from > kernel.org? I just want to make sure we are looking at the same code. Yes, I got 20080318-rc from kernel.org. I can provide the problematic vmlinuz offlist if you'd like. I've not yet had a chance to trace kexec with gdb and really dig into this issue. Mike
