Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : kexec-tools Version : x.y.z Upstream Author : Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.example.org/ * License : (GPL, LGPL, BSD, MIT/X, etc.) Description : Load another kernel from the currently executing Linux kernel
kexec is a set of systems call that allows you to load another kernel from the currently executing Linux kernel. Some machines have BIOSes that are either extremely slow to reboot, or that cannot reliably perform a reboot. In which case kexec may be the only alternative to reboot in a reliable and timely manner. Kernel 2.6.13 will contain the kexec()-syscall. The user space tools can be found here: http://www.xmission.com/~ebiederm/files/kexec/ -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.13-rc3-git4 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
