Now that I have a Linux running with networking on a PrPMC800 running as NON-MONARCH, I wonder if anybody knows about a program that can start a fresh linux kernel from the filesystem. The reason I need this, is that the PrPMC800 PPC-Bug does not support network booting for NON-MONARCH operation (neither have I found any alternative that does), and downloading megabytes over the serial line is not very tempting.
In theory it should be simple (given that we have enough RAM): 1. Load the new image into RAM (userspace) 2. Disable interrupts 3. Copy image from userspace RAM to contiguous (physical) memory 4. Jump to code in the contiguos (physical) memory Does anybody know of such a program?
