I tried it on system with 96G of RAM. When I reserved 512M for kdump kernel, system stopped loading somewhere in user space. With larger reserved area /sbin/kexec can't load kernel (because of hardcoded limitation in /sbin/kexec). After removing this limitation kernel was loaded below 2G, but system even hasn't booted. Unfortunately, I don't remember exact details now and have no access to that machine temporarily. Will try to get access and come back with details. -- wbr, Vitaly
