On testing of RHEL5 beta with Perceus (uses kexec), people are having
problems with the kexec. I can't replicate locally but here is the
info that I got:
# kexec --initrd=/vnfs.img --force --append="masterip=192.168.1.254
console=ttyS0,115200 noht nousb ramdisk_blocksize=1024 noapic" /vmlinuz
Ramdisks not supported with generic elf arguments
# file /vmlinuz
vmlinuz: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, AMD x86-64, version 1, stripped
Red Hat says this:
The reason that the file shows up this way is because the RHEL5
kernel is now relocatable. Relocatable kernels are required for use
with the kdump / kexec facility. Kdump, of course, will be replacing
diskdump and netdump for capturing vmcore files after a crash.
Has anyone come across this yet or have ideas for a solution?
Many thanks!
Greg
