Notes on loading the dump-capture kernel:
* By default, the ELF headers are stored in ELF64 format to support
systems with more than 4GB memory. The --elf32-core-headers option can
be used to force the generation of ELF32 headers. This is necessary
because GDB currently cannot open vmcore files with ELF64 headers on
32-bit systems. ELF32 headers can be used on non-PAE systems (that is,
less than 4GB of memory).
systems with more than 4GB memory. On i386, kexec automatically checks if
the physical RAM size exceeds the 4 GB limit and if not, uses ELF32.
So, on non-PAE systems, ELF32 is always used.
The --elf32-core-headers option can be used to force the generation of ELF32
headers. This is necessary because GDB currently cannot open vmcore files
with ELF64 headers on 32-bit systems.
* The "irqpoll" boot parameter reduces driver initialization failures
due to shared interrupts in the dump-capture kernel.
