Hi,

I just want to know if there is a doc OR a patch that describes that changes that has to be done for having kexec and kdump for my kernel. I am using ARM 11mpcore and linux-2.6.33

It would be of help if somebody could let me know whether ARM kernel could be made relocatable so that it could be used as the second kernel (dump kernel). Any pointers on this could be helpful?

With Regards, Zakir Ahmed   "And fear Almighty, and know that you are to meet him in the hereafter"

ARM doesn't have CONFIG_RELOCATABLE, so probably it doesn't support relocating. You'd better to check this with ARM kernel developers.

Thanks.
