Hello, I am on SUSE 11 (Patch 1) and trying to boot the kernel with param ?memmap? (i.e. memmap=<SizeInG>$<StartAddrInG>). The intention is to reserve <SizeInG> GB portion of the memory starting at address <StartAddrInG>. Example: ========= Added the parameter ?memmap=100G\$4G? to kernel boot commandline via yast (NOTE: Escape character is needed for Grub2 loader) Effect: ====== $ cat /proc/cmdline root=/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-3600605b000f5ae5014d40a7c099e544c-part2 resume=/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-3600605b000f5ae5014d40a7c099e544c-part1 splash=silent memmap=100G\$4G Error faced during kernel boot (snippet from dmesg): ======================================== [ 0.000000] Malformed early option 'memmap ? [ 1109.873280] ioremap of the image failed(1) Question: ======== Is this a bug with kexec or some other known problem? Would appreciate any help from the forum. Regards, Mehul Wagle
