What kind of staff does not get initialized? I understood kexec as if the kernel (and hereby OS) is completely restarted?
A simple dmesg will not be sfficient, or? I just've seen that a simple-syslog-daemon is already installed!? Will that output be sufficient? Or do you want me to install klogd/syklogd? Please let me know before I am going to flash forth and back kernels. Of course I will check those outputs against anomalies/differences, but am afraid that I will not be the one to find the culprit. I hope you will help me with that?
