Hello, I've had problems buidling kexec-tools with pretty old (but currently official in "enterprise" distributions....) kernels, namely a 3.10.x series in the scope of a buildroot image generation. It boils down to being due to missing VIDEO_CAPABILITY_64BIT_BASE define (that appeared from 4.4.x kernels it seems in screen_info.h) in kexec/arch/i386/x86-linux-setup.c from a98b4da4fd4f1c7ad9a47ade17f377b833e5c9ae. The local fix could be trivial, something like: diff --git a/package/kexec/0003-kexec-tools-video-capability-64bit-define.patch b/package/kexec/0003-kexec-tools-video-capability-64bit-define.patch new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..93a66bb1a7 --- /dev/null +++ b/package/kexec/0003-kexec-tools-video-capability-64bit-define.patch @@ -0,0 +1,13 @@ +--- a/kexec/arch/i386/x86-linux-setup.c ++++ b/kexec/arch/i386/x86-linux-setup.c +@@ -37,6 +37,10 @@ + #include "x86-linux-setup.h" + #include "../../kexec/kexec-syscall.h" + ++#ifndef VIDEO_CAPABILITY_64BIT_BASE ++#define VIDEO_CAPABILITY_64BIT_BASE (1 << 1) /* Frame buffer base is 64-bit */ ++#endif ++ + void init_linux_parameters(struct x86_linux_param_header *real_mode) + { + /* Fill in the values that are usually provided by the kernel. */ But I was wondering if this is something that would get considered or dropped, and better managed at buildroot or so level, given the very old version we are talking about.
