Just learn of this feature - in the kernel. Google returned too many different links, very confused. Can someone summarized (if he knows the answer) the feature: a. What is it about. Of course - faster bootup. b. What mechanism it takes? (using kdump/kexec?) Soft boot or hard boot? And what are the tradeoff it takes? Delayed bootup (like in VMWare/WIndows XP)? c. Status of current work? (i still see my bootup very slow :-)). Thank you very much. -- Regards, Peter Teoh -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
