Hi Bernard, I heard of the work on integrating PS3s, and if you integrate a kexec based boot into systemimager, I guess I'll have to integrate a configurator module for it into systemconfigurator. Can you give me any details on the configuration files needed for kexec/kboot? How they look like, where they are, what program is used to install them or so?
