Hi

Using kexec as indicated hereunder I am enable to use ethernet network 
directly after kexec boot
due to I suppose last igb driver "igb-1.2.45-K2"
Only solution found is to rmmod igb  and just after modprobe igb

Coul you tell me the kexec version that take into account the driver 
igb-1.2.45-K2?
May be an other solution is to tell kexec to load this modules ? but how ?

any help will be appreciated
Thanks in advance
Thierry
