i really dont consider it an essential function ... it's a useful feature not being able to reboot at all is an essential function, shaving off 20 seconds is not It's not for being able to reboot swiftly, I'd consider it essential because some motherboards ship with buggy BIOSes that may not work properly when rebooting "normally". I actually possess two boards like this, and BIOS updates didn't help at all, thus the notion that kexec is pretty much essential to reboot them at all. eeh, in critical cases where you have /usr not mounted you should be able to do the special magic to reboot - in other cases you already have /usr :) reopen if you disagree |
