To: kexec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


Hi

I'm increasing dmesg buffer size at runtime by passing log_buf_len=1M
(or 512K) at command line. At compile time, I have LOG_BUF_LEN as
256K. However, when this kernel crashes (crashkernel set at 64M),
vmcore-dmesg fails with below error.

No program header covering vaddr 0xffff88013ff00000found kexec bug?

Am I missing something here?

Thank you.

Here are some debugs I added to kernel. This is with 3.4 kernel and
I've tried with kexec-tools-2.0.4.
