Kexec - Not working - Please help

[HackCandy]

Hi Werner,

I was able to load and run a Kernel using kexec by doing
the following:

a) Booted using Om 2008.12
b) Placed a zImage in / directory.
c) kexec -l zImage
d) kexec -e

Kernel panic saying no root file system.

So, I tried the following:

kexec -l zImage -append="root=/dev/mmcblk0p1" <==== Hangs here
kexec -e

/dev/mmcblk0p1 -> contains 2008.9 rfs

Is it the right way to do?

Please clarify.
- HHC
