When I was looking around the source code yesterday I forgot that my LSP had indexed the kernel for x86 and not arm64. >> > - also what would it take to support arm64, which is the other major UEFI arch? >> >> I'm not familiar with UEFI on arm64, but I can certainly look into it. I assume it's not gonna be that difficult. I'll work on a separate patch for UKI support on arm64 (with .dtb section support). I think it's best to keep this x86 patch separate from that. I have a v2 patch for x86 put together with the small fix for the optional .cmdline section + a few other tweaks that I'll submit shortly. _______________________________________________ kexec mailing list kexec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec
