    Hi,

I read in the BLCR User manual that one of the necessary criteria is:

"You may restart a program on a different machine than the one it was 
checkpointed on if all of these conditions are met (they often are on 
cluster systems, especially if you are using a shared network 
filesystem), and the kernels are the same."

To what levels do kernels have to be "the same"? So for instance, my 
Debian etch box has a kernel of 2.6.18-5-686; can I restart a 
checkpointed job on any 32 bit i686 2.6.18 kerneled machine, or does it 
have to be *exactly* the same?

Thanks for any help,
Mark
