Only the first booted kernel need this patch and can load any other kernel into the RAM and switch to the second without reboot. *G* Maybe not the best links - just some quick found links http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-kexec.html http://www.xmission.com/~ebiederm/files/kexec/README http://lists.arm.linux.org.uk/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2006-December/037671.html http://kboot.sourceforge.net/doc/kboot-lk2005-talk.ps.gz I haven't played a litte bit on a my laptop once but tommorow I will got a NSLU2 because it is ARM powered like the Neo and some ideas could be tested with it before getting the Neo :) On the NSLU2 I will play with debian and kexec to install a pre-system on the flash once and then boot a second system from USB. So I think kexec will be possible on the Neo1973 you could have several systems parallel and when you need a stabil system for normal life you could choose. No idea if this will be interesting for normal user, but for shure for hackers like you ;) Cheers, rob PS: I love hacks like kexec and linux-vserver :))) - >> Thanks a lot, > Alessandro > _______________________________________________ > OpenMoko community mailing list > community at lists.openmoko.org > http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
