The --debug options is listed for "dol-ppc" systems (I have a PowerBook G4, not sure if this falls into this category), when I use it the help screen of kexec is displayed again and at the bottom: Cannot load /boot/2.6/zImage This is with 2.6.34-rc7 (today's git): # file /boot/2.6/zImage /boot/2.6/zImage: ELF 32-bit MSB executable, PowerPC or cisco 4500, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, with unknown capability 0x41000000 = 0x11676e75, with unknown capability 0x10000 = 0x90402, not stripped .config and dmesg: http://nerdbynature.de/bits/2.6.34-rc7/kexec/ Christian. -- make bzImage, not war
