Hello again from Gregg C Levine I might as well chime in on this discussion right here. Andrew are you certain that your patch for the 2.4.19 kernel for the kernel exec function can be applied to the 2.4.20 kernel? Granted I should think it would work, with out too much fuss, except from patch itself, but I'm not an expert.
And more importantly, the make elf image tool, normally requires as one of its parameters, a ram disk. Any suggestions for building one?
Does your LinuxBIOS SDK have anything to offer for this one, Andrew? ------------------- Gregg C Levine hansolofalcon@worldnet.att.net ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."

both work on 2.4, and kexec works on 2.5
I have backported kexec to 2.4.19, and 2.4.20 can use this patch
also.
Although it isn't the lastest, it works ok. I have tried to port
the
latest to 2.4, but it requires much more work than I expect. It is what I have so far.
