[Mkdump-devel] mkdump patched kernel won't boot

[Jeong-Sang O. <on...@gm...>]

Hello,

I'm currently tyring to do the mini kernel dump on my system.

Unpatched(original) 2.6.9 kernel with the default
configuration(kernel/arch/i386/defconfig) boots fine.

But after patching the kernel with the mkdump patch(minik-patch-2.6.9-1.2),
the kernel won't boot. (Also tried to boot with this kernel stand-alone,
but it won't boot either.)Cannot see anything printing. And after a few
secs, the system reboots.

I've used the default configuration(kernel/arch/i386/defconfig) with the ne=
w
mkdump options enabled, and the SMP option disabled. (no other changes)
-----------------------------
The system I'm working on is:
Intel P4 XEON (dual)
8GB DDR RAM
MCH: E7501
ICH: ICH3
S/IO: PC87417
-----------------------------
Any solutions to this problem?
Suggestions appreciated!

Thank you.
