iii) Specify "irqpoll" as command line parameter. This reduces driver
|

initialization failures in second kernel due to shared interrupts.
|

iv) <root-dev> needs to be specified in a format corresponding to

the root device name in the output of mount command.

v) If you have built the drivers required to mount root file

system as modules in <second-kernel>, then, specify

--initrd=<initrd-for-second-kernel>.

5) System reboots into the second kernel when a panic occurs. A module can be

written to force the panic or "ALT-SysRq-c" can be used initiate a crash
