Hi, Thanks for answering. I am confused. Now the fact is in 1st kernel memory is reserved for crashkernel and passed to 2nd kernel by exactmap. Then in 2nd kernel, reserved memory regions are added into e820. Later hotplug memory still trigger add_memory, and cause bug I reported. > > > > >Am I right? > > > > >The other question, e820 reserve is done earlier than acpi > >initialization, because acpi_early_init() invocation is very late in > >start_kernel().
