kexec for Linux 2.6.6 is now available at:
http://developer.osdl.org/rddunlap/kexec/2.6.6/


kexec userspace tools are at:
http://developer.osdl.org/rddunlap/kexec/kexec-tools/


For 2.6.6, the kexec_load syscall number had to move due to
some new syscall additions in 2.6.6.  However, I didn't
update the kexec userspace program for that 1-line change.
The change is in kexec-syscall.c, line 46:

change
#define __NR_kexec_load 274
to
#define __NR_kexec_load 283

(for i386).

There is one outstanding patch from Albert Herranz
that I will review and possibly use/merge soon.
His email is here:
  http://lists.osdl.org/pipermail/fastboot/2004-May/000290.html


And if anyone has suggestions for handling a variable/moving
syscall number (target), I'm interested in hearing them.
