I thought it could ...


kexec maybe but kbl-kexec dosen't like it. I just tried and got 'not a bzImage'.

In the source code for kbl-exec, the source code that purports to support ordinary ELF
images is commented out with "#if 0".

See work/kexec-boot-loader/kexec-boot-loader/kexec/kexec.c line 191 and kexec-x86.c line 93.

Personally, I think this is a Bad Thing. Why should it only be possible to boot something
that is in a complicated format that is only used by the Linux kernel?
