OK. So I've been trying to kexec a new kernel on my ASUS WL500GP. Initial attempts were an utter failure yielding:
r...@gw:~# /oldroot/usr/sbin/kexec -l /tmp/vmlinux.lzma --append="/dev/sda1 rootfstype=ext3 noinitrd console=ttyS0,115200 init=/etc/preinit" Cannot determine the file type of /tmp/vmlinux.lzma So, the lzma appears to not be the file it wants. Let's try vmlinux.elf: r...@gw:~# /oldroot/usr/sbin/kexec -l /tmp/vmlinux.elf --append="/dev/sda1 rootfstype=ext3 noinitrd console=ttyS0,115200 init=/etc/preinit" kexec_load failed: Success entry = 0x2ab000 flags = 0 nr_segments = 2 segment[0].buf = 0x2ac33008 segment[0].bufsz = 28607b segment[0].mem = 0x1000 segment[0].memsz = 2aa000 segment[1].buf = 0x458440 segment[1].bufsz = 190 segment[1].mem = 0x2ab000 segment[1].memsz = 1000 Much closer to success, the kexec_load() (which is just a jump to syscall(__NR_kexec_load, entry, nr_segments, segments, flags); is obviously returning some kind of error. Nothing new shows up in dmesg after this either. :-( Any ideas? b.
