[CRASH][2.6.10-rc2-mm4] kexec on bochs

[Vinay K Nallamothu]

Hi,

While trying kexectools-1.98 on bochs-2.1.1, the newly loaded kernel
panics soon after starting (its the same kernel used to boot bochs).
kexec with the same works fine on a P-III based system.

Can provide the .config if required.

BOCHS configuration
./configure --enable-cpu-level=6 --enable-pci --enable-ne2000
romimage: file=$BXSHARE/BIOS-bochs-latest, address=0xf0000

This is what I did:

# kexec -l /boot/bzImage --append="root=/dev/hda1"
# kexec -e



Below is a capture:
