Hi 
I have a query regarding the dumping hook of lkcd in kernel/panic.c.
In previous versions of lkcd (lkcd-4_1-1-2_4_18.patch) there was a call to dumping function of lkcd from panic().
But in new lkcd (lkcd-6.0.0_2.6.8.1.patch) there is no call to lkcd dumping function in kernel/panic.c. Rather there the patch loads a new kernel if CONFIG_KEXEC is defined.
Does this means
1. there will no dump in case of kernel panic. please help me in understanding what i am missing).
2. Is LKCD uses the newly loaded image to take the dump.
Thanks in advance
