Kexec and Kdump should work, and >you should also be able to use ramdisks or reuse your current ramdisk as well just had a brief look and will try to look deeper once I'm able to. One thing I'm not sure is whether we want to introduce the --reuse-initrd option. In my opinion it is just bloat. Yes I know the kernel reserves the region where the initrd is loaded by the boot loader but I'm unsure if we want to keep it that way. We are talking here about 10 MiB which remain unused once the system finished booting. If you kexec you have to specify the kernel, why not the initrd as well? Sebastian
