Using kexec might be one path to explore (there has been some work done here on a kexec enabled kernel).
Another possibility (not tried here that I know of) is to support more than one guest system under Linux-VServer(.org) and then switch the pariperals between the various guest instances.
But your going to either run out of RAM or have to enable swap so the instances not in use have somewhere to go.  |
Oh yes I remember discussion about
kexec.
At this point, I want to exactly know the advantages of upgrade from 2.5.8 to 3.2.1 or 3.4.2 ?
And its disadvantages (I know of one which kinda keeps me from updating!)... which I'm sure there are plenty, speaking on a "hackery level"!
If one updates, I'm sure, they can revert back, just like Kindle Touch and Keyboard right? Do we know the magic key for this thing (Kindle DXG) to go to recovery/fastboot mode?
