Hi So it appears I cannot load pre-2.6.24 kernels ARM kernels. I have some further questions. Is this an ARM-only thing? If I want to load an arbitrary kernel, am I out of luck? I thought theoretically kexec was able to execute arbitrary elf binaries, non-kernals, etc. Is this true, or only my own misconception? Or is it true in general, but not for ARM? If it is not true for ARM, can I fix it? I would like kexec to be able to boot old,old kernels, of the 2.4.16 vintage. Can you help answer these questions?
