The following Is NOT a correction Nor disputing your comments. Please continue helping. If I write is to clarify what is my understanding.

I am lost in #1. I bet you are trying to explain what my options are by using "root=". Still it get me confuse. But listen what I need is the following. We has said that Kexecboot is a front end of kexec. So what I want is to test kexec first ALONE so see how it behaves. For that I need the correct kexec construction sentence to call Ububtu in the secon partiyion of the SDCARD. So I look in the kexec manual an I got what I wrote before. Now I am asking you if you know or you can look at your Kexec config file for that sentence. I hope you understand me now.

#2 is a nice explanation. I see. Thanks

#3 Open Source instruction said to use "android_santos10_open_r00_user_defconfig" But I agree with you, So what I did I use instead was "make ARCH=i386 android_santos10_open_r00_eng_defconfig" Then "make menuconfig" and went and try to enable what I needed. Basically verify the kexec was enabled, and that my CIFS was also enabled. Still I learn to copy ".config" and place it a my future config with a different name. Thanks.

#4 I tend to agree with you some what in that the x86 binary code of my Ubuntu Desktop may work in the x86 tablet. Well that is almost the case. As an example I downloaded the Open Office Ubuntu deb package for x86 desktop and then installed in the tablet. 100% working. But some of binary code compiled not always work. Yes my Ubuntu Desktop is x86 64. And I bet you that if the code gets generated for 64 bit I am not sure is it will work. Then the other factor I think is the possibility of missing libraries that Ubuntu desktop my have against Android minimal system.

Now You raise a good point, I could run a chroot Ubuntu x86 ( not 64). But then again It is simpler to have another partition and run Grub2 with Ubuntu x86 without any chroot. That is what I did normally. But I have 1.5 tetra of garbage. I am in the process of backing up, so that I can liberate HD space.

Regards "CROSS_COMPILER" jijiji yes it seems funny. But the real answer is that it is false that the process do "CROSS_COMPIling". That statement just select the toolchain to use. It does not matter if it is mips, arm or Intel. Just point to the place of the toolchain. The the output clearly is going to be the output for what the toolchain was build for.

So Can you look at your kexecboot config and tell me if the command is there.

By the way The Documentation for Kexecboot at "http://kexecboot.org" is no longer available. It seem that the site is dead. In fact many others related to kexecboot are dead too!!. So I ask you for any chance did you save that documentation? Can I have it?

Thanks body I really appreciate your

PD, I am Create a kernel in my desktop (i7 8core), but I have to mention that I did not include V8, so I guess it used 1 or 2 cores only. It took 25 minutes. I am compiling the kernel also in my Tab3. It has pass 1 hour and I guess is half way!!

But, I had 2 outages of electrical power! My Tab3 is unaffected to outages of power jijijiji. This is why I want to have Linux natively. This is weird It never happens. I guess there have to be a construction near by that require the cut of power.
