Dear Marco, Thanks for your relpy.Yes,kmonte.o is loaded on linux-2.2 To test it , I runned monte with the same bzImage that is there in /boot that resulted a blank screen. Any thing went wrong?
Let me tell you the primary goal for me, I need a Secondary Boot Loader for my x86 board, Which even helps a layman to update the entire image in the box. As a temporary solution ,I thought to have a minimal linux to act as a bootloader for my linux. So I used kernel monte. Anything better than kmonte or SBL for this type of need?
Did you already know about kexec?

It's in the OSDL-patched kernels, and it works for me. I use it to reduce reboot time when doing kernel hacking. Maybe it could be useful to you.
