If the only thing is to pass bitmap to kexec kernel, since you have reserved the bitmap memory I guess it is straightforward to set the kexec bootparams.unaccepted_memory as the old value. Not sure if there are problems when the decompress code accepts memory again though. for kernel kexec_file_load, refer to function setup_boot_parameters() in arch/x86/kernel/kexec-bzimage64.c for kexec_file_load, for kexec-tools kexec_load code refer to setup_linux_system_parameters() kexec/arch/i386/x86-linux-setup.c Thanks Dave _______________________________________________ kexec mailing list kexec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec
