# VERIFICATION FOCAL kexec-tools & kernel 5.4

For this set of verifications we will test the kexec-tools in -proposed with the 5.4 kernel.
The 5.4 kernel will not work in cases where the crashkernel need to be allocated in both low and high memory because we have not patched it.
Therefore the tests are done only on a test machine with little memory.
The purpose is to confirm that kexec-tools in -proposed does not introduce regressions.

1)
Not applicable.

2)

On a focal machine with 4G of memory, running 5.4 kernel installed kexec-tools from proposed and triggered a crash. Crashdump file is generated successfully.
