Please check http://www.checkpointing.org. There are several projects
listed there.
Current general kernel level checkpointing support is still limited (i.e.,
doesn't support all applications in all cases). Two projects you may want
to check: epckpt (a kernel patch) and CRAK (a kernel module).

Subject: Suspending a process into disk?
> Hello All,
>
> I was wondering, if suspending a specific process into disk and
> resuming from the disk after a reboot is possible. Let's assume
> that the process in question has a couple of open files for r/w,
> say on ext2, if it makes difference, and it isn't using any
> network connection.
>
> It could be very useful, if you have to reboot the system while
> your cpu-monster application is running for a long time...
> Sometimes, I have to delay a necessary (minor) kernel update
> because of week-long processes.
