     I want to develop a user-level application for
    fault-tolerance servers. Can someone tell me where I
    can get information about the kernel-level
    checkpointing (i.e., to write the image and state of a
    process to disk so that another computer can re-run
    that process)??

Do you want to preserve file descriptor state? If so, you will need
kernel assistance, if not -- you should do a search for unexec (I
think emacs has/had this?).
