The early boot log in compress/*.c is not visible for kexec EFI boot so the log is useless unless serial is usable. the early putstr only works for legacy boot with some ioport outb() callbacks unless serial is available. For EFI boot it does not work, and for kexec, it is even worse because 1st kernel booted with kms mode setting, it is not like the firmware initialized video mode any more when we run kexec reboot. _______________________________________________ kexec mailing list kexec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec
