Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-OriginalArrivalTime: 21 Oct 2005 05:03:53.0517 (UTC) FILETIME=[D53125D0:01C5D5FC] Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 799 Lines: 24 I've been asked to look at kexec for ppc on 2.6.10. The syscall appears to be present, but there seem to be additional patches for 2.6.10-mm at: http://www.xmission.com/~ebiederm/files/kexec/ Are these patches needed? I haven't been able to find any current official documentation, although I found some old stuff from 2.5 and a writeup at: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-kexec.html?ca=dgr-lnxw04RebootFast Is there any official HOWTO on this? Any issues I should look at in particular?
