Multiple saved kernel configurations
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for managing multiple saved kernel configurations, comprising:
- retrieving an existing kernel configuration;
applying a kconfig command, wherein a second kernel configuration is generated, wherein the kconfig command comprises a kconfig -e command and a kconfig -i command, and wherein application of the kconfig command exports the retrieved kernel configuration from a first system and imports the retrieved kernel configuration to a second system; and
saving the second kernel configuration.

8. A computer readable medium comprising routines to manage multiple saved kernel configurations, the routines, when executed, comprising the steps of:
-
retrieving an existing kernel configuration; applying a kconfig command, wherein a second kernel configuration is generated, wherein the kconfig command comprises a kconfig -e command and a kconfig -i command, and wherein application of the kconfig command exports the retrieved kernel configuration from a first system and imports the retrieved kernel configuration to a second system; and saving the second kernel configuration. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A mechanism for managing multiple saved kernel configurations, comprising:
-
a saved kernel configuration directory, wherein multiple kernel configurations are maintained; and a kconfig module that receives a kernel configuration, the kconfig module comprising kconfig commands capable of being applied to the kernel configuration, wherein at least a second kernel configuration is generated, wherein the kconfig command comprises a kconfig -e command and a kconfig -i command, and wherein application of the kconfig command exports the retrieved kernel configuration from a first system and imports the retrieved kernel configuration to a second system. - View Dependent Claims (16)
