Cannot do kexec in old Redhat EL 4
Hello,
I am trying to kexec kernel 3.2 of Debian Wheezy from an old kernel 2.6 of Redhat EL 4
Getting following error message:
kexec_load failed «function not implemented»
Please suggest how can this be corrected?
Shall any kernel module be loaded for kexec to work?
Kind Regards

Re: Cannot do kexec in old Redhat EL 4
Please read my link, that suggests a slightly different command.

Re: Cannot do kexec in old Redhat EL 4
It is an old version of kexec:Head_on_a_Stick wrote:Please read my link, that suggests a slightly different command.
kexec-tools-1.101-18.i386.rpm
It seems it does not support option:
--reuse-cmdline
I tried to add -l too, it does not help.
It is a RHEL4 kernel:
kernel-2.6.9-67

Re: Cannot do kexec in old Redhat EL 4
Please suggest what is KEXEC feature in terms of kernel space?
Is it a loaded module which can be compiled for a kernel missing it originally
or some code fragment of the kernel itself which only could be backported?
Does a KEXEC enabled kernel exist for RHEL4 somewhere?
Or may be something like:

I see even versions like Xen0/Xenu 2.6.18 there.
Where can I get a precompiled RPM with KEXEC kernel for RHEL4?
I need to boot from a factory made DVD at least for getting confident GRUB loader and choose another kernel from it.

Re: Cannot do kexec in old Redhat EL 4
My original RHEL4 kernel config missed KEXEC, I will check in a new kernel.

Re: Cannot do kexec in old Redhat EL 4
Well, I get:
cat config-2.6.17-1.2139_FC5 | grep KEXE
CONFIG_KEXEC=y
Trying to install this Aurox package with its dependencies.
