/sbin/kexec is a user space utility for loading another kernel and asking the currently running kernel to do something with it.
|
|
|
|
|
A currently running kernel may be asked to start the loaded kernel on reboot, or to start the loaded kernel after it panics.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The panic case is useful for having an intact kernel for writing crash dumps. But other uses may be imagined.
