I can't make kexec work. Is the openSUSE kernel compiled with the relevant option (CONFIG_KEXEC=y)?
As always all your booted kernel config is here zcat /proc/config.gz | grep "KEXEC" CONFIG_KEXEC=y
what I did:
in place of trying from a live cd, simply trying from the openSUSE installed as vmware (11.3, xfce) - should work!
so boot the openSUSE, open a root terminal and type
kexec -l /boot/vmlinuz --append=(result of cat /proc/cmdline - copy/paste) --initrd=/boot/initrd
return with an error "reading_legacy sectors_per_track failed"
then kexec -e fails (freeze the virtual machine)
wjat can I do? I have the same error when trying from a live cd
What you foget is to mount where the /boot is :-) it's written in your previous message.
Before kexec you have to mount /boot from the installed system.
Hope this help
thanks jdd
