I see that your v4 kernel patch set does not have ADDRESS_SPACE_END, so it seems there would be need to change this part and related ones at crash side. if ((string = pc->read_vmcoreinfo("NUMBER(ADDRESS_SPACE_END)"))) { ms->address_space_end = htol(string, QUIET, NULL); free(string); } else goto error; ... error: error(FATAL, "cannot get vm layout\n"); Thanks, Kazu _______________________________________________ kexec mailing list kexec@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec
