Thats fine by me it's only a minor glitch but it's not a good look for openSUSE. Also I wonder how much it would cost Novell to have a few test machines representative of the major hardware out there. I would have thought my Athlon 64 x2 processor/AMD 690G chipset would be reasonably common and could be configured for the test bench for less than Euro 200.
It does not only depend on the CPU and chipset but also on the mainboard, all used devices, the memory configuration and the BIOS if kexec works or not. But please attach hwinfo, and I try to find a machine that matches your machine as close as possible and if I can reproduce your problem there, I can try to debug that issue. (In reply to comment #3 from Keith Goggin)
It seems to me that the problem is related to acpi and I suggest, possibly as an enhancement, you try the following for amd x86_64 hardware:-
kexec -l <kernel-image> --append="acpi=off"
We cannot disable ACPI by default on all x86_64 machines.
See http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-kexec.html for more info.
I don't see any information about ACPI there. BTW: The right thing would be kexec -l <kernel-image> --append="$(cat /proc/cmdline) acpi=off" because we need some other command line parameters like the root device to boot properly. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
