Why do we need to disable vmx mode before booting a normal linux kernel?
vmx mode blocks INIT (even on the host; not just on the guests) so reboots don't work. It also assigns some memory to the cpu; if the new kernel isn't aware of it, the cpu and the kernel would both think it belongs to them. Finally, if vmx mode is enabled, you can't start kvm on the new kernel.
Is it possible to disable vmx mode before we enable interrrupts in the kdump kernel?
You need IPIs to disable vmx on smp. -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
