Abstract
Methods that boot a secondary operating system (O/S) kernel with reclaimed primary kernel memory are disclosed herein. One method includes booting, via a processor performing a boot algorithm, a secondary kernel for an O/S in response to a primary kernel for the O/S going offline, in which the secondary kernel is configured to be loaded to a reserved memory area. The method further includes reclaiming memory space from the primary kernel for use in booting the secondary kernel in response to a determination that the reserved memory area includes insufficient memory space for completing the boot algorithm. Also disclosed herein are apparatus, systems, and computer program products that can include, perform, and/or implement the methods for providing a secondary kernel that includes a reserved area in memory.
