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

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.
