Update kernel without boot!?!? From oracle/linux site

Update kernel without boot!?!? From oracle/linux site

[Daniel Hilst]

 From oracle/linux[1] site, they're bragging about having the unique OS 
that can have kernel updated on the fly..

I have two questions:

1) Is that possible, and if is, can this be safe??? On PDF they say 
about a module that does the trick..

2) Is there any open software project trying this? would be good to have 
that feature!


Cheers!

Hello!

There is kexec [0] that does that.

Ops, kexec don't do that. Ksplice does.

If I'm not wrong, Ksplice itself free for few distro like CentOS/Ubuntu but
not RedHat.
