Hi Milton,

first of all thanks for looking at the patches.

Yes, you're right. The kernel image could be damaged. Fixed.

Fixed as well :)

I think you're talking about the function machine_verify_elf_rel().
Unlike the probe functions this one should return 0 on error,
shouldn't it?

The hard coded addresses are part of the kernel abi. Nothing needs to
be changed here. Skipping the first 64k of the kernel image is ok too,
since you usually would only find a loader routine there which would
load the rest of the kernel image into ram and then start it.
If you are really interested you might have a look at
arch/s390/kernel/head.S in the kernel sources :)
Also we do not plan to use the kdump feature. It doesn't make too
much sense for the s390 architecture since we have already other
mechanisms which allow to reliably dump complete memory and register
contents at any given state of the system.

The patch below should be better (still against 1.101). Guess I will
come up with an improved kernel patch too.

Thanks,
Heiko
