··· 545 545 Format: 546 546 <first_slot>,<last_slot>,<port>,<enum_bit>[,<debug>] 547 547 548 - crashkernel=nn[KMG]@ss[KMG] 549 - [KNL] Reserve a chunk of physical memory to 550 - hold a kernel to switch to with kexec on panic. 548 + crashkernel=size[KMG][@offset[KMG]] 549 + [KNL] Using kexec, Linux can switch to a 'crash kernel' 550 + upon panic. This parameter reserves the physical 551 + memory region [offset, offset + size] for that kernel 552 + image. If '@offset' is omitted, then a suitable offset 553 + is selected automatically. Check 554 + Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for further details. 551 555 552 556 crashkernel=range1:size1[,range2:size2,...][@offset] 553 557 [KNL] Same as above, but depends on the memory 554 558 in the running system. The syntax of range is 555 559 start-[end] where start and end are both 556 560 a memory unit (amount[KMG]). See also 557 - Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for a example. 561 + Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for an example. 558 562 559 563 cs89x0_dma= [HW,NET] 560 564 Format: <dma>
