It was easy to figure out irq_descp() is gone and idesc->handle is replaced with idesc->chip. But this code in machine_shutdown() caused an error: ... if (cpu != smp_processor_id()) cpu_down(cpu); } } #elif defined(CONFIG_SMP) smp_call_function(kexec_stop_this_cpu, (void *)image->start, 0, 0); <=== #endif 'image' is undefined in the code. Was it a global? Where was it declared? Thanks, - jayHi, can you try if it works with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU enabled? Thanks Zou Nan hai
Sorry i have been pulled away on something else... With CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU enabled, the problem code would not get compiled, thus i was able to create a kernel rpm. Unfortunately i failed to boot the sn2 kernel... So i switched to my reference box, an ia64 HP zx box. It booted up OK (tiger defconfig). Then i got stuck on a stupid quesiton: I was not able to run the 'kexec' command to load the kernel specified in the '-p' parameter. What kernel was i supposed to specify there? The one i built? Or, a reqular kernel that proves to work?
