Documentation has been updated with a short example illustrating how a kexecboot-enabled kernel can be built using the OpenEmbedded/Yocto framework.
See here.

Since rev 4f9e066 the section delimiter is LABEL (previously it was KERNEL).
The documentation has been updated, please check your boot.cfg and edit it accordingly.

If both USE_FBMENU and USE_TEXTUI have been configured then kexecboot
will fallback to text if GUI cannot be initialized.
This has been applied in rev f3d1606

Finally I've found an hackish way to detect ubifs filesystems and kexec-boot them.
At the moment of writing this we support a single volume per partition but our Yuri will do his magic...
Stay tuned!

Ability to choose one of first 10 menu items by 0-9 keys was pushed into git master today. Behaviour is controlled by --enable-numkeys configure option. Note that this option is enabled by default. Now you may select menu items even without any user interface (in headless mode e.g.). Menu items are enumerated from 0 (first/top item) to 9. So to enter 'System menu' just press 0 in main menu. Then press 0 again to go back to main menu.

To change FB UI size limits you was needed to alter defines LYT_MAX_WIDTH/LYT_MAX_HEIGHT in res/theme.h file. Now that defines are removed. You may use --enable-fbui-width/--enable-fbui-height configure options to specify max width/height of FB UI in pixels. By default no limits are used, so kexecboot FB UI will use full screen.

Kexecboot got simple text-mode user interface. So now you can use kexecboot without framebuffer.
Other frequently asked feature that was implemented is ability to have multiple kernels per partition on device. Now boot.cfg may have multiple sections that are delimited by KERNEL parameter. Read how to write config file for details.

We have finished that long awaited feature! Now you can look at kexecboot's log right from UI. All changes are merged into git master! Screenshots are coming soon!
