https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=222898 haveaniceday@cv-sv.de changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |haveaniceday@cv-sv.de ------- Comment #17 from haveaniceday@cv-sv.de 2006-12-29 13:20 MST ------- The patch "fix" works for i386. Only required for i386: part linux-2.6.18/arch/i386/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S-dist You can use "dumpelf vmlinux-2.6.18.5-*kdump |less " to see the elf relocation addresses. A correct kdump kernel should have a 4096 alligned address for Header #1 p_vaddr/.p_paddr ( 0x?????000 ). All PT_LOAD section should have a 0x1000 alligned address for kexec. Sample: /* Program Header #1 0x54 */ { .p_type = 1 , /* [PT_LOAD] */ .p_offset = 2199552 , .p_vaddr = 0xC1218000 , .p_paddr = 0x1218000 , .p_filesz = 508037 , .p_memsz = 860916 , .p_flags = 7 , .p_align = 4096 }, Current vmlinux-2.6.18.2-34-kdump shows .p_vaddr=0xC1215480,.p_paddr=0x1215480 => 0x....480 => not 0x1000 alligned. I suggest to apply the fix for linux-2.6.18/arch/i386/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S only first. E.g. to the kotd. kexec works for i386 in this case.
