I.E. on a SMP machine split it off into a virtual machine like that
software
that was on freshmeat recently, it continues running, the other processor
handles the compile of the kernel, and then the kernels communicate all the
scheduling/processing/ram etc and "swap" to the new kernel. Keeping the
uptime and continuing to stay up. I heard of something like this on SGI
but
I may be wrong. It's probably far more complex to pull of than what I put
here... just wondering if it was possible. If it was possible on a single
processor machine even better....
something to discuss anyway.
Thanks
Mark Harburn.
