[PATCH] kexec-tools ppc64: add --reuseinitrd option

Michael Neuling mikey at neuling.org
Thu Apr 19 00:29:09 EDT 2007


Add a --reuseinitrd option so that initrds saved using the
retain_initrd kernel option can be reused on the kexec boot.

Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling <mikey at neuling.org>

Horms: This fixes comments from Milton.  Also adds sanity checks to make
sure the old initrd was retained, and that another initrd/ramdisk is not
being specified at the same time.

fastboot is dead... love live kexec! Yay :-)
