ebuild for the kexec-tools package you need this tool to use the kexec() system call present in some of the newer kernels, i.e. 2.5. 69-mm1 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: i could not determine which kernel trees have kexec(), and which don't. So lease add to the DEPEND variable if you know.
Created attachment 11645 [details] the kexec-tools ebuild
changing status to LATER. the kexec() stuff has been removed from current dev kernels. its returning is undefined. please close.
Oh my. A few days later, there is an update of kexec() for 2.6.0-test7: http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0310.1/0158.html No mention about the userspace tools, though 1.8 seems to be the lates version at this point (checked the URL in the ebuild). Not sure how to go about this, developer decision needed. Probably NEEDMOREINFO would be appropriate, as it is not sure wether this will get into mainline kernels.
