For people who would like to experiment with the multi-kernel Linux concept, Cong Wang hasannounced therelease of mklinux v7.0-mk2.

mklinux lets one machine run several independent Linux kernels atthe same time on bare metal, without a hypervisor. A host kernelowns a pool of CPUs, memory and PCI devices, carves that pool intoinstances, and boots a spawn kernel into each instance throughkexec_file_load(). Every spawn kernel runs natively on its ownCPUs, its own physical memory and its own devices. Nothing isemulated and nothing is trapped; the only thing shared is what youchoose to share.

Note that this is not the old MkLinux, which was a port to PowerPCMacintosh systems.
