Subject: why does CONFIG_NONSTATIC_KERNEL affect the boot kernel?
Date: Thu, 25 Apr 2013 17:33:40 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5179BD54.2000409@genband.com> (raw)


Hi,

Looking at the kdump code for powerpc, I see that if 
CONFIG_NONSTATIC_KERNEL is not set then the load address for the capture 
kernel is fixed at 32MB.

Why is this?

When using a separate capture kernel I don't see why that should 
restrict where I allocate space in the boot kernel.

Chris
