Title: Reducing System Reboot Time With kexec
Abstract: kexec is a developing feature for Linux 2.5.x that allows an x86 Linux kernel to load and run another kernel instead of the platform BIOS and bootloader. By skipping the platform BIOS during a reboot, kexec can reduce downtime in enterprise class systems, and reduce turn-around time for Linux kernel developers. This paper presents measurements of boot time reduction through the use of kexec.
