That would probably be fine on a dedicated embedded system, where you never plan to change the kernel once it does what you want. But I'm planning to continue to run Debian on this device, and will want to update the kernel along with the rest of the packages on the system on a regular basis. > Have you tried compiling the commandline options into the kernel > you're trying to kexec? eg CONFIG_CMDLINE I don't think I need to. The --append option to kexec seems to work fine. (See the boot transcript in the thread I referenced -- the command line is being passed correctly.) > Do you have a write-up somewhere? Not yet. All I've done so far is a minimal kernel config and a simple-minded rootfs with busybox and kexec-tools. I'll write a HOWTO if I can ever get it actually working. -- Eric Cooper e c c @ c m u . e d u -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
