I think x86_64 is relocatable by default, as on RHEL5 x86_64 we only have one vmlinuz for both production kernel and kdump kernel. I don't know the history, probably x86_64 supports relocatable from the beginning, thus there is no such Kconfig on RHEL5. > > I also suspect that kexec-tools-1.102pre-126.el5.i386.rpm might be the > culprit here since it is for i386, but I couldn't install > kexec-tools-1.102pre-126.el5.x86_64.rpm lack of 64 bit libc.so.6 on > the custom distro > So, probably this is the cause of the problem.
