If you really need a patch for 2.6.9, then that is a pretty tall order. Kexec is now being maintained in the main kernel tree. My recommendation is that 2.6.21rc3 is a farily good release for kexec, and if you aren't worried about ia64 then 2.6.20 is probably good too. If you really need something against 2.6.9, then I guess you will have to try to pull the patches out of git, but that is going to be really hard work given that 2.6.9 is quite old now. For kexec, there is a kexec-tools-testing branch that has the latest and greatest. Its releases can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/horms/kexec-tools/ The kexec-tools-testing tee is maintained in git, and I encourage people to check out and test this tree. (I sould probably make a new release soon :) git clone http://git.kernel.org/linux/kernel/git/horms/kexec-tools-testing.git or http://git.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/horms/kexec-tools-testing.git -- Horms H: http://www.vergenet.net/~horms/ W: http://www.valinux.co.jp/en/ _______________________________________________ fastboot mailing list [email protected] https://lists.osdl.org/mailman/listinfo/fastboot
