Comment 1 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2018-08-21 10:22:53 UTC

I hit this too, it breaks 'systemctl kexec' for me.

# /usr/sbin/kexec --load /boot/vmlinuz-4.18.0-0.rc1.git0.1.fc29.x86_64 
Unhandled rela relocation: R_X86_64_PLT32

(I get the same result with a bunch of different kernels, so I don't think the specific kernel version matters.)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kexec-tools-2.0.17-9.fc29.x86_64

Comment 2 Bhupesh Sharma 2018-08-21 11:07:06 UTC

Fix is available upstream here: https://www.spinics.net/lists/kexec/msg21255.html

I have tested the same on a Fedora 29 system and it seems to work fine.
