Actually i wrote something in 1999 called lobos that preceded kexec,<= br> and maybe even /dev/reboot (not sure).

I still recall a linux groupie telling me that "Linus would never
accept linux rebooting linux into the kernel" ... ha!

I've got a reasonable summary article of kernels booting kernels --
all 5 versions of them -- in some cluster 200x paper. It concluded
that Plan 9 was the cleanest of the lot. Surprise!

Did that pre-date the "two kernel monte" that used to be = used on Scyld's "Beowulf" thing?

Also, Eric, the 9atom.iso works on my older AMD machine for installation! = =A0THANKS! :-)
