Create a symbolic link on N900 so that existing kernel modules will be used with the new kernel.
cd /lib/modules ln -s 2.6.28-omap1 2.6.28-omap1-kexec-patched
Flash the patched kernel:
flasher -f -k zImage-kexec-patched
Install kexec user space application. TODO
Install Meego image on external micro mmc card.
sudo moblin-image-writer <image-file>
Connect external micro mmc card.
Run kexec
kexec -l /boot/zImage-2.6.33 --command-line="init=/sbin/init rootwait root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rw console=ttyS2,115200n8" sync kexec -e
