Subject: Re: Fast testing

Well the idea wasn't about what is faster, rebooting or loading
kernel image in ram memory, it was about loading kernel image
in ram to see and debug things. And if you reboot there is
time delay and the point is why doing it, if you can just smash
another kernel image in ram memory and drive.

I mean, this does not make sense in production environment use,
it is for debugging.

Anyway, the simplest first try is to get somehow at grub command
line and load kernel image in ram and hope this works :)
If not, then write small program is the only solution.

The only concern is can you burn your laptop with assembly instructions ?? :)

thanks,
