Maybe Werner will disagree, but what we actually need to push us forward is U-Boot reduction into "tiny bootloader" and the support for the less horrible "fixed worst-case offset partitioning" in NAND rather than the current really horrible dynparts. Kexec / Kboot itself is less crucial because we can get most of the benefit from it with simply a backup kernel + rootfs. But without a bootloader that is more sane than current dynparts U-Boot, we are into continuing misery. Probably RMS didn't bring suffering created by NAND into his tender consideration, but if he did, I guess he would be telling you the same (but with a hard disk platter on his head). - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkhBXtkACgkQOjLpvpq7dMp1awCfZgoED57tmIX/NKRn9bMkaT+y 5gIAoIaDQNac+PM6kRy1JRig10oVBtRZ =7hRh -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
