I meant that kexec-dump was under development yet. kexec-dump works well on i386/x86_64, but it is in the development stage on other architectures. >> I heard that kexec-dump of >> some architecture (ex. ia64) had some problems and not worked. > >wouldn't it be better to then help finish that rather than making an >alternative ? It is, if diskdump project just started now. But the basic code of diskdump is almost completed. I think it is more efficient to enhance quality of diskdump than help kexec-dump.
