Hi,

I have downloaded kexec-tools-2.0.3 to Ubuntu machine(10.04) from http://horms.net/projects/kexec/.

Thereafter as mentioned in Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt, I have done the below steps.

3) Unpack the tarball with the tar command, as follows:

   tar xvpzf kexec-tools.tar.gz

4) Change to the kexec-tools directory, as follows:

   cd kexec-tools-VERSION

(Version is 2.0.3)

But the next step is configuration and build of package, as below.

So what option do I need to give to compile for Gingerbread sources.

Because the below set of commands will configure and compile for Linux Ubuntu-dev 2.6.32-38-generic.

But I want to compile for Gingerbread sources.

I have the gingerbread sources.

{{{

5) Configure the package, as follows:

   ./configure

6) Compile the package, as follows:

   make

7) Install the package, as follows:

   make install

}}}

Also, after compiling, do I need to copy the kexec utility to target or it will be part of kernel build itself?

Thanks & Regards,

Amar Shankar

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your info regarding kexec tool.

I am unable to download kexec from below link.

It says HTTP 404 Page Not Found.

Could you please guide me on this?

Thanks & Regards,

Right -- just the first make command will suffice, i.e., when running
on an x86_64 host:

$ wget http://people.redhat.com/anderson/crash-6.0.4.tar.gz
$ tar xzf crash-6.0.4.tar.gz
...
$ cd crash-6.0.4
$ make target=X86
...
$ ./crash <path-to>/vmlinux <path-to>/vmcore
