From: Borislav Petkov > What system is this? Full dmesg and .config pls. > > How exactly are you launching the kexec kernel, etc, etc? dmesg, kernel config and a script to load kexec is attached. I could reproduce the problem as followings: # ./kexec-p-noinitrd.sh # cat /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_loaded 1 # echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger If the problem reproduces, the system stops or resets just after showing a call trace of sysrq-panic on console. On kernels without problem, it should show boot messages from the 2nd kernel after the sysrq-panic call trace. When I use "--noefi" option of kexec, the problem didn't occur. So I think you need EFI-based system to reproduce the problem. -- Jun'ichi Nomura, NEC Corporation / NEC Solution Innovators, Ltd.
