It simply fails to load any 2.6.31 kernel (all I have access to) with the error : "Reading legacy_max_head failed". I googled for the error and all I could come up with is bnc # 383210 and http://www.mail-archive.com/kexec@lists.infradead.org/msg01381.html Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.kexec-bootloader or kexec -l /boot/vmlinuz --initrd=/boot/initrd 2. 3. Actual Results: Reading legacy_max_head failed. Expected Results: Next reboot is from the kernel loaded by kexec bypassing grub. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
