Linux based bootloader

[Jorge Dominguez]

Hello,

I find link on Web that describes a module to load other linux kernel or 
bootloader with a commandline params inside a linux.

Works are perform by bootloader kernel module that get kernel, initrd 
and command line params.

http://www.embeddedarm.com/software/arm-linux-bootloader.php

Unfortunately, this module has been developed by a private company and 
payment.

All embedded developers are waiting for a module of its kind in the 
kernel but open source and would greatly facilitate the development of 
the kernel for these systems without having to flash the kernel or 
loaded via nfs or other boot method.

Send this email after looking at some kernel module that can do this 
work. Would be very grateful if you could tell me something about it.

I don´t subscribe to linux-kernel mailing list, Please send me a CC'ed 
response

Sorry but my English is very poor and rely on google translate.

Best Regards,
Jorge.

What about kexec and kboot/petitboot?

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
