+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #405341 +++ [root@ps3 boot]# kexec -f --command-line="root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 video=720p panic=30" --initrd=initrd-2.6.23.1-43.fc8.img vmlinuz-2.6.23.1-43.fc8 Cannot determine the file type of vmlinuz-2.6.23.1-43.fc8 Additional info: There is difference between F7's kexec-tools.spec and F8's kexec-tools.spec as following: --- %ifarch ppc -%define archdef ARCH=ppc64 +%define archdef ARCH=ppc %endif --- I guess that this is the reason why ppc32 kexec can't handle 64-bit kernels.
Created attachment 298016 [details] use the same configuration as F7 I tried the change attached to use the same configuration as F7, and the ppc32 kexec could load 64-bit kernels correctly.
