Title: Kexec-loader On Non-xdsl Distro
Post by: ldotsfan on June 24, 2011, 10:00:00 AM

Kexec support need to compiled in the kernel. On embedded devices, there's kexecboot.

In the boot sequence for Xbox Linux, you have the choice of starting with either Cromwell bios or Xromwell XBE. Grub4Xbox and the like won't work. But once kernel has started, kexec should work. I compiled kexec support while working on MC Linux but have yet to get to the point of testing kexec userland tool.
