I don't mind switching back and forth between 32-bit and 64-bit for plain kexec, especially if we can validate that the kernel we load will use an instruction set that is supported. But for kdump, switching between 32-bit and 64-bit kernels is just another new dimension in the already too complex kdump matrix IMO. I think more focus should be put on fixing up bugs in kexec-tools than adding new features. / magnus _______________________________________________ fastboot mailing list [email protected] https://lists.osdl.org/mailman/listinfo/fastboot
