And the .config file for v3.8 could be found here: http://pastehtml.com/view/cylyrfejt.txt The log and operation could be found here: http://pastehtml.com/view/cylyfrb3a.txt Some key setting list below. bootargs: rw vram=32M fixrtc mem=1G at 0x80000000 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 console=ttyO2,115200n8 rootwait crashkernel=64M at 0x82000000 operation: / # ./kexec -l --append="rw vram=32M fixrtc root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 console=ttyO2, 115200n8 rootwait" uImage / # ./kexec -d -e The output: [ 57.373687] Starting new kernel [ 57.377044] Bye!
