All I know, it can be done in: a. do this in a diskless node which do nfs root. Crash happen? relax..just reboot. b. Do this inside virtual machine such as KVM , Qemu, or virtual box. As for Qemu, it has special option to directly boot a (compressed?) kernel image without having it inserted into disk image. c. use kernel debugger such as kdb or kgdb. This is specificly for debugging, not just testing. Googling with the keywords "linux kernel debugging" should be sufficient to tell you how it's done... -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
