kexec fails to boot kernels where CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE=y is set

[Thomas D.]

Hi,

looks like kexec doesn't support kernels where

  CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE=y

is set.


I already created a bug for Debian in June for this problem [1].

I am able to confirm the same problem with kexec 2.0.7 on Gentoo and
when building from source (943ba35f8143408d8ada9a24d0986663cc612df9).

Is this a known problem/limitation?

Is there anything I can help you with to get this fixed?

Thanks.
