kexec - 2.6.14 - loads BIOS again

["Prabhakar K." <krishkar99@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi - After my previous posting I was able to make some progress.

When I do

kexec -l vmlinux --append="init 1 root=/dev/hda2" --console-serial

and 

kexec -e,

I get message:

Starting new kernel

I'm in purgatory

And after that it still boots from BIOS (to the same first kernel).

Whats the problem here?

Also do I need kdump again in addition to the latest kexec tools?

When I do:

#chkconfig kdump on

error reading information on service kdump

#service kdump start

Bad core dump start addres: start

What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance !!
