#5342: Warm reboot (Kexec like) ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: fano | Owner: axeld Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: System/Kernel | Version: R1/alpha1 Keywords: | Blockedby: Platform: All | Blocking: ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ From the linux manual: kexec allows one to load another kernel from the currently running Linux kernel. Normally one would load a kernel, and possibly an initial ramdisk, into the currently running kernel using kexec and then initiate a warm reboot by executing kexec again with appropriate option. Using kexec the reboot time is a lot reduced no BIOS screens, no bootloader... only the kernel is rebooted really. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/5342> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
