I now have all the information, now I just have to write and test the code :) kexec is basically like exec. It adds a variant of the reboot syscall that takes an kernel (preprocssed with mkelfImage) and a command line. mkelfImage and add a ramdisk or whatever. The packages are available from: ftp://ftp.linuxnetworx.com kexec-patches-1.0.tar.gz (Holds patches against 2.4.0-test9) mkelfImage-1.0.tar.gz (Preprocess a kernel so it will work) I have some updates and some more code. That I need to get on the ftp site but is enough to get you bootstrapped. Eric
