Well my first idea was to have a kind of management OS that I can load in memory to do some stuff like disk partitioning, fsck, etc... For example one idea I have in mind is BTRFS snapshots. I can take a snapshot of my root, and when something goes wrong, I run the management image to revert the root FS. So I'm looking for a way to stop the system, run the management image and restart from there. This way, I can avoid all the hardware and memory checks while booting. Note that kexec is already doing that [1]. My question was more on how to cleanly stop and run my memory image.
