Hi While testing with kexec tool, I observed some problems. When application (kexec) is 32 bit and kernel is 64 bit I observed that loading crash kernel works without any issues but unloading crash kernel fails. -------------------------------------------------------- running strace over 'kexec -u -p' show the problem to be with sys_kexec_load() call sys_kexec_load(0, 0, 0, 0x1, 0) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument) write(2, "kexec_load (0 segments) failed: "..., 49 kexec_load (0 segments) failed: Invalid argument ) = 4 -------------------------------------------------------- This is patch to fix the problem, I think kernel code had a typo where in: if((flags & KEXEC_ARCH_MASK) == KEXEC_ARCH) was used instead of if((flags & KEXEC_ARCH_MASK) != KEXEC_ARCH) This patch takes care of that, I have tested the patch it worked fine for me. Please review the patch and let me know of your views. This patch is based on linux-2.6.26-rc3. Thanks Yeehaw
