Ok, I must be confused then. I though CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START was introduced in order to allow an alternative address to be provided for kdump, and that previously it was hard-coded to some architecture-specific value. What I was really getting as is if it needs to be configurable at compile time or not. Obviously there needs to be some sane default regardless. -- Horms H: http://www.vergenet.net/~horms/ W: http://www.valinux.co.jp/en/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||
