[Bug 518567] Re: armel/versatile: Can't kexec

[Loïc Minier]

Tried again with the kernel at
http://people.canonical.com/~roc/kernel/kexec/ prepared by Bryan from
the sources at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=roc/ubuntu-
lucid.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/kexec-versatile:

qemu-system-arm -m 256  -drive file=lucid.img,media=disk -M versatilepb
-cpu cortex-a8 -kernel linux-
image-2.6.32-16-versatile_2.6.32-16.24/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-16-versatile
-append 'root=/dev/sda console=ttyAMA0,115200 S' -nographic

kexec -l vmlinuz-2.6.32-16-versatile --append="rootwait root=/dev/sda console=ttyAMA0,115200 S"
kexec -e

All I get is:
[   87.854989] Starting new kernel

But at least it doesn't dump core anymore; apparently it avoids writing
bogus data over the I/O space.

I also tried without rootwait, but I really get no more output after
"Starting new kernel" despite the use of a serial console.
