Subject: [gentoo-releng] kexec compiled into kernel
Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2008 17:58:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080128155847.M6157@visp.net.lb> (raw)
Hi
Is it possible to compile in kernel kexec support? at least for architectures
where it is well supported.
It is very handy, when Gentoo installed on PC remotely on regular PC, when
people there just boot CD and set ip, and leave location for few days.
It is not possible to eject CD on remote PC, cause on reboot BIOS usually
closing tray. kexec will let to reboot system to newly compiled kernel
without full reboot, avoiding system to boot from CD again. Remote tech's on
location can remove CD later, when it is comfortable for them.
Sorry if sent empty message before, clicked on button by mistake.
