First 3 lines are from the first kernel, then I attmpted to kexec reboot
to 6.4.0-rc5-00009-g75d090fd167a and remote console hanged with the
reboot message of the first kernel. After a while, I know kexec failed
so I power cycled the machine to boot into a distro kernel, that is the
last 3 lines. There is no trace of the failed boot.
I guess the kexeced kernel failed to start early in the boot process
so the log is probably only available in serial, if any. Unfortunately,
there is no serial support for this machine.
Thanks,
