I'd also recommend the fast-reboot option, but since no one mentioned yet I'll suggest Werner Almsberger's bootimg utility. Take a look at: <URL:ftp://icaftp.epfl.ch/pub/people/almesber/misc/> specifically, bootimg-current.tar.gz Also, in ../booting/ there is a paper describing the method. (bootinglinux-current.ps.gz) I've tested this many times (we use it at Mission Critical for our kernel crash dump system), and if you're looking for fast reboots this is the way to go. Unfortunately, it doesn't solve the upgrading of the ROM issue. For the lazy who don't want to look at the references, what this allows you to do is boot a linux kernel, using an already loaded Linux kernel. ttyl, -- Josh Huber ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
