good. I then try : kexec -l <new_kernel> --append=console=tty0 console==ttyS0,9600n8 --initrd=<initrd_location> kexec -e All I get is : 'Starting new kernel' and machine hangs. No output on serial minicom from another linux machine where the serial cable is connected. I read that there is a way to test kexec by doing : "kexec -l kexec_test" ---> but this does not work for me? Any tips/ideas on how to debug?
