Hi,
I managed to start my own linux system from ExpressGate with the kexec program and it works without problems. I just compiled a statically linked kexec (because I have no SDK and the executable I tried didn't work) and put it into a bs-aaa_kexec.sqx. The "aaa" makes shure that it is loaded first after the kernel. Then I copied my kernel and initrd file to a folder on the NTFS partition and executed following commands:
At first I can not see any output, but after a while my Ubuntu login screen is shown. All in all from power switch to ubuntu login screen it saves me around 10 seconds. Unfortunately a klick on one of the icons on the ExpressGate screen is still necesarry.
At least a first start...
