Hi,
I'm happy to announce the second alpha release of this code.
Currently the following is working for UP (single processor):
kexec: Xen->Xen and Xen->Linux
kdump: (Xen->Linux)
http://www.vergenet.net/linux/kexec/ia64-xen.shtml
http://www.vergenet.net/linux/kexec/ia64-xen/20070208/broken_out/README
http://www.vergenet.net/linux/kexec/ia64-xen/20070208/broken_out/BUILD
This release is based on:
xen-ia64-unstable, version 13867 (the latest checkout as of writing!)
kexec-tools-testing 20061214
linux 2.6.20
I'm more than happy for people to help with this code.
In fact I am practically begging for help. For some places
to start, see:
