Hi,


****** I have a requirement in
which we have to fetch a new Linux image from the


network and have to launch this image.* I am wondering
if it is possible to launch


this image from within the current operating Linux (after transitioning
to rl 0)?


ie., I am wondering if we can skip a CPU reset. The reason
is the new image is in


memory and we do not want to lose this due to reset.


*


Any alternate suggestions like maintaining some persistent
ram etc will be nice.


We are trying to avoid writing the image back to disk.


*


Thanks


*

Is kexec sufficient for your needs?
