For the first time *ever* I got a kexec reboot to work on my most troublesome machine (see below). Current .config settings: # CONFIG_SMP is not set CONFIG_X86_GOOD_APIC=y # CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC is not set CONFIG_KEXEC=y Oddly, kexec_test still hangs. # ./kexec-1.7 --force ./kexec_test-1.7 FIXME assuming 6Synchronizing SCSI caches: 4M of ram Shutting down devices Starting new kernel kexec_test 1.7 starting... eax: 0E1FB007 ebx: 0000111C ecx: 00000000 edx: 00000000 esi: 00000000 edi: 00000000 esp: 00000000 ebp: 00000000 idt: 00000000 C0000000 gdt: 0000006F 000010A0 Switching descriptors.

I'm going to try to find my other 576MB of RAM with the right command-line magic... ;^) For those looking to replicate: 0. apply these two patches to 2.5.48 (bk Changeset 1.842) http://www.xmission.com/~ebiederm/files/kexec/linux-2.5.48.x86kexec.diff http://www.xmission.com/~ebiederm/files/kexec/linux-2.5.48.x86kexec-hwfixes.diff 2. compile this: http://www.xmission.com/~ebiederm/files/kexec/kexec-tools-1.7.tar.gz 3. my recipe for rebooting: a) I have a script that I execute by hand after "init 1" to unmount my filesystems and then remount / and /boot read-only. b) I have the kexec binary installed in /boot. c) ./kexec-1.7 --force --debug "--command-line=ro root=805 console=ttyS0,9600n8" ./linux-2.5 Thanks, Eric!
