Software: 1. Suse Linux SLES 9 SP1 2. kernel linux-2.6.12-rc3-mm3 3. Kexec-tools-1.101 + kdump patch 4. FSRacer - a simple test script doing loads of filesystem operations like creat/open/read/write/link lots of files Test-procedure: - Built first kernel for 1M location with CONFIG_KEXEC enabled. - Booted into first kernel with command line options crashkernel=48M@16M. - Built second kernel for 16M location with CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP, and CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE enabled. - Loaded second kernel with following kexec command. kexec -p vmlinux-16M --args-linux --crash-dump --append="root= init 1" - Ran test suite FSracer over LVM partition and the test ran without failures. Manually caused panic by triggering through sysrq-trigger. - Ran test suite netPerf as full duplex (both as server and client) with another machine serving as the other end of the duplex. Manually caused panic through sysrq-trigger in x235b and able to get dump successfully.
