It appears to me that #define KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE (40UL*1024*1024) (kexec/arch/x86_64/crashdump-x86_64.h) is very small. I am trying to load a bzImage as a dump capture kernel. It's text size is over 80M. get_kernel_vaddr_and_size() cannot identify it as kernel text. (kexec/arch/x86_64/crashdump-x86_64.c) Is mine just an extraordinarly large kernel? -Cliff -- Cliff Wickman Silicon Graphics, Inc. cpw at sgi.com (651) 683-3824
