Thanks for replying... We are implementing it on a 2 core machine so we have two kernels running...we have made changes in the grub code to load second kernel image in memory and send start-up Inter Processor Interrupts to second core and wake it from halted state...second core starts executing second kernel code..and first kernel starts running on first core after grub is done with it's operations. We have made changes in kernel code to initialize different subsystems on the two kernels. This includes changing the way in which interrupts are routed and also changing the listing of PCI devices. We have reserved memory for both kernels and some memory is shared for inter-kernel communication.
