This patch set is based upon the stable 2.5.{67,68,69} versions of kexec. The most recent set of kexec patches do not yet patch cleanly into 2.5.70. This patch was tested to work on a dual-proc P4-1.7GHz Xeon system. The only known strangeness I have observed (YMMV) is that the VESA framebuffer driver did not reinitialize correctly after kexec-ing a new kernel, but the system rebooted correctly. The stable patches for 2.5.70 are available for download from OSDL's patch life-cycle manager (PLM ) in pieces, or as a single unified patch.
