Help.Built a new init.gz with kexec support

[Fernando Gietz]

Hi,

I need a new init.gz with kexec support, I try with different buidroot versions but can do it. Can anybody help me with this?

[Tom Elliott]

I’ll get one for you. Give me a little bit.

[Tom Elliott]

If you need help to finding it, it’s under Target Packages->Debugging, Profiling, and Benchmark->kexec

Did you need zlib support as well?

[Fernando Gietz]

Thanks Tom.

I need to boot from different partition, and I would like to develope a new FOG task to do it.

We have some rooms that are used to do scientific computing along the night, therefore, we need to boot at night under linux and under windows during the day. I think to do it using kexec, but I don’t know if is possible.

In my ubuntu kexec tools are installed, but in the init.gz no. I check the option in Debugging, Profiling, and Benchmark->kexec, but later in the init.gz don’t appear kexec command :oops:

[Tom Elliott]

You may have to enable another option. Let me look and get back to you.

[Tom Elliott]

I’m not seeing where it wouldn’t allow. Though it appears you have to be in 32bit mode: ARCH=i386. Anything else and it seems to make it disappear.

[Fernando Gietz]

Thanks for your time.

Which version of buildroot are you using?
