Kexec (version 2.0.20) fails to launch crashdump kernel with following error: > root@device:~# kexec --type zImage -p /boot/zImage --append="root=/dev/mmcblk1p1 1 maxcpus=1 reset_devices" > syscall kexec_file_load not available. > Could not find a free area of memory of 0x1000 bytes... > locate_hole failed The kernel (version 4.1.52) was configured with CONFIG_KEXEC and CONFIG_SYSFS enabled. Additionally u-boot was updated to pass the kernel command line "crashkernel=96M@64M" to reserve RAM for the crash kernel. Can you please help to understand why kexec fails to find a free area of 0x1000 bytes if 96M should be available.
