FW: 2.6.18 Fedora core kernel gives: "Overlapping memory segments at" error

Tue Feb 23 16:32:59 EST 2010

Hi Vivek,

Is it a bug? Its works for 2.6.27 but fails for 2.6.18 kernel. However I
use the vmlinuz image as a capture kernel in case of 2.6.27 as it does
not complain of relocatable kernel with it.

I am using a vmlinux kernel image to load as it complains  vmlinuz image
for not being relocatable in case of 2.6.18.

I get the following error:-

Overlapping memory segments at  0x27f7000

"sort_segments failed"

Thanks

This is my .config  for the capture kernel.

CONFIG_KEXEC=y

CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y

CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x2000000

I use crashkernel=64M at 32M.

Thanks

Hi there,

When I use a 2.6.27 Fedora core I am able to load a capture kernel
properly and it boots when the first kernel crashes.

I am using a x86_64 platform and 2.6.27 Fedora core.

I use crashkernel=64M at 32M.

But when I use a 2.6.18 in the same environment and settings as above, I
get the following error when I load a capture kernel:-

"Overlapping memory segments at"  error

"Sort segments failed"

I found that the kernel segments overlap when loading them in the 64M
memory reserved for the capture kernel. My system memory is MemTotal:
8037944 kB

I am using kexec-tools-2.0.1 and the "cat /proc/iomem"  o/p is as
follows.

Could it be a bug in the Kexec?
