Update kernel without boot!?!? From oracle/linux site
From oracle/linux[1] site, they're bragging about having the unique OS that can have kernel updated on the fly.. I have two questions: 1) Is that possible, and if is, can this be safe??? On PDF they say about a module that does the trick.. 2) Is there any open software project trying this? would be good to have that feature! Cheers!

Ops, kexec don't do that. Ksplice does. http://www.ksplice.com/
2) Is there any open software project trying this? would be good to have that feature! If I'm not wrong, Ksplice itself free for few distro like CentOS/Ubuntu but not RedHat. -- ---- Cheers, Lakshmipathi.G FOSS Programmer. www.giis.co.in
