You can use kexec, but I don't bother. On Galaxy S phones it's always possible to drop into "download mode" and just restore the old kernel image.

It's _always_ possible even if your firmware is totally corrupted and even battery controller is dead. In some cases it requires a magic jig, though (a 101kOhm resistor shorting two USB lines).
