Guys, sorry for the long lines on that last e-mail attempt. I, unfortunately, have to use LookOut at work. This is a better formatted message: Attempting to make kexec work for Mips32r2. 2.0.1 works, 2.0.2 doesn't. Looking through the differences of the arch/mips folders I find that there is a reference to an extern simple_setup_start. In 2.0.1 this appears to be referencing asm code from the file simple_setup_start.S, however, in 2.0.2 I cannot find the referenced location. Is this the reason that I cannot get a Linux kernel to boot using 2.0.2 using the same command line as the 2.0.1? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide, Andy Kennedy
