Hi everyone,

I've performed some kexec and kdump tests on 2.6.18 and 2.6.19-rc5 using
i386 and x86_64 hardware. The goal is to test a certain "stable" version
of the kexec-tools git tree together with the kernel to check for
regressions. This is supposed to be a "known working" combination of
kernel and kexec-tools.

My plan is to run the same tests with the kexec-tools-testing tree later
on too, but it seems that just keeping the kernel working properly is
hard enough for now.

kexec-tools: 529ad18980e297efc6ac2839c82afc24eccdcd1f of kexec-tools git
hardware: Shuttle XPC SD36G5, 1 x Pentium D 930, 1 GB RAM
