Subject: kexec buffer error

---

Hi,

kexec of 2.6.24-rc6-git11 fails for me with:

Close of /boot/kernel-2.6.24-rc6-git11 failed: : buffer error
kexec load failed, error = 1


2.6.24-rc6-git9 works as expected. git10 fails with root device
not found (for some reason). All have the same kernel config
(attached).

Any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks,

So close() system call seems to be failing here. If kexec-tools version
is same then we should not have erred on fd number etc. Could be a kernel
issue. I have no idea though.....
