Sure, but I guess an ICE/ICD (In-Circuit-Emulator/Debugger) for a modern CPU will cost a couple of hundred thousand dollars. For a modern processor, ICE means something different than what you are thinking of. NO one debugs with a true ICE any more, Not no one -- but for the purposes we're

My 2.6.18 kernel comes off the disk, so filo. Currently the 2.6.18 kernel need to load, just a little, to set up memory and disk in order to access the disk and the suspend file. Also, you must use the same kernel rev. But I am thinking much lower. This perhaps would be best as a patch to
