I explained over a month ago that kexec / kboot is not critical for us compared to bootloader simplification. http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/openmoko-kernel/2008-April/002561.html Clear direction: 1) reduce the bootloader to a minimum and use the fixed worst-case partitioning offset method instead of dynparts, 2) implement backup kernel and rootfs, 3) figure out if kboot / kexec buys us ANYTHING over what we already have at that point so we should even bother thinking about it. - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkhBaHEACgkQOjLpvpq7dMqlNQCfRuwdB1JN+8mxT04K2hB8vahe ChUAnA4+OHbJE2KD1aX2FDaM+9K032nC =qRvT -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
