Description of problem: Relocatable kernel support was included in RHEL5 Beta1. For that kexec-tools also had to be modified to generated the ELF headers properly in output vmcore file. Due to lack of time a stop gap fix was put in kexec-tools. Now a more proper fix is available for kexec-tools which should be included. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL5-Beta2 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
I'm running into some hard reboot problems while testing the patch. I've sent a note to the reporter asking if he has any insight.
Vivek has shown me what problem is causing this (as described in bz 207598). Given that this will break kexec/kdump functionality with kernels prior to kernel version that had this problem, I'm making this bug dependent on resolution of bz 207598, so that we are left with a testable kdump package at all times
