Doesn't this also save the memory of kernel B? > 5. Shutdown or reboot > > > The restore process with the patch set is as follow: > > 1.

In fact, if kernel A has been compiled to be relocatable and crash dump enabled, why wouldn't it suffice for all 3 instances? _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm _______________________________________________ kexec mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec
