I'm currently trying an upstream tree to see if latest kerenls can boot ia64 via kdump Upstream kernels seem to be doa with our kexec-tools as well. Tring the latest kexec-tools git tree note to self: replacing common kexec-elf* files in kexec subdir from 1.101 to 1.02pre fixes this. I'll need to investigate further. I've noted two things today. I can build locally and produce a working kexec binary that successfully boots a kdump kernel if: 1) I change build_mem_notes to return -1 if any elf headers we read in are non-null terminated 2) If I don't install the latest elfutils-devel-static on the local system I have no idea why this works yet. correction, apparently the actual problem is with the %configure script for the srpm . If I forgo the %configure sciprt, and just use ./configure instead, the rpm built locally works fine. Narrowing it down further, it appears that the default values for $RPM_OPT_FLAGS seem to be having an adverse affect on the build for ia64. Fixed in kexe-tools-1.102pre-8.1, on my private pre53 branch. I'll merge when we open for 5.3 checkins. good point, I misread what version we were shipping in the initial report. setting exception flag. QE ack for RHEL5.2. This is a regression relative to 5.1 and would seriously impact customer's ability to debug problems in addition to their ability to provide us with debugging information. This bugzilla has Keywords: Regression. Since no regressions are allowed between releases, it is also being marked as a blocker for this release. Please resolve ASAP. An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
