Hi Could you help to confirm: Kexec-tools 2.0.4 + Linux 2.6.33 on MPC8541(PPC32) can work or not? If not, how to make it? Thanks a lot.

Hi, I think these questions would be best sent to the linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org and ke...@lists.infradead.org lits. In general I believe that ppc64 is supported by kexec-tools 2.0.3 + 2.6.33. However, I am not familiar with mpc8541 and there are ongoing improvements made to ppc64 support for both kexec-tools and the linux kernel. So if possible I would try using newer versions - the latest version of kexec-tools is 2.0.4. And in the case of kexec-tools the current git branch if the latest release seems to not work. git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/kernel/kexec/kexec-tools.git _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
