Hi; With current Linus's git tree + current kexec-tools-testing [1] (also with kexec-tools-1.101) tree "kexec -e" call on reboot failed with following;
kexec failed: invalid argument kexec document says its users responsibility to close running softwares, mounting disks in read only mode etc. and it suggest calling "kexec -e" just before the "reboot" call and talks about future merge with sysvinit's reboot and kexec, and when i did it, it will not starts new kernel and instead gaves that error. But more supringuisly if i try to execute "kexec -e" directly (in init3 with rw disks and lots of running software) it will starts new kernel without a problem. For reference im using following kexec line for loading the kernel kexec -l /boot/kernel-2.6.22-rc4-CFS-v16 --append="root=/dev/sda3" --initrd=/boot/initramfs-2.6.22-rc4-CFS-v16 I'm not sure this is a regression or my(maybe me or kexec document misses some point) mistake cause this is my first attempt to use kexec, but i want to report the situation :) [1] http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/horms/kexec-tools-testing.git;a=summary Cheers -- S.Çağlar Onur <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://cekirdek.pardus.org.tr/~caglar/ Linux is like living in a teepee.
