Hi, I agree with Borislav that kexec shouldn't start at all because we can't guarantee a stable system anymore when MCE is reported. On the other hand, I understand there are people like Andi who want to start kexec even if MCE occurred. That is why I propose adding a new option controlling kexec behaviour when MCE occurred. I don't stick to "sysctl". I suggest to add a new boot parameter instead of sysctl because users can't change their configuration once the boot parameter is set. I will resend the patch if it is acceptable. Regards, Seiji ÿô.nÇ·ÿ±ég¬±¨Âaþé»®&Þ)î¦þ)íèh¨è&£ù¢¸ÿæ¢ú»þÇþm§ÿÿÃÿ)î¦þàbnö¥yʦbs(§ ©Ú¯ìáÿÿ÷%½ëÊs÷'þ×j)ÿým£ÿÝ{ÿö+ÿÞ¨¥þKÚOèÿ
