Hmm... I think you're heading into risky territory there, upgrading a kernel on an embedded device of some sort?

If you're lucky you might get away with getting an entire copy of the newer kernel and copying the smdk6400-specific subdirectories into the new kernel tree... however I don't fancy your chances. Personally I'd wait for a new release of the kernel from the original developers/suppliers for your device.

Either way you'd really want to know what you were doing before attempting this or your device may become unusable!

CTRLALTDEL(8)						     Linux Programmer's Manual						     CTRLALTDEL(8)

NAME

       ctrlaltdel - set the function of the Ctrl-Alt-Del combination

SYNOPSIS

       ctrlaltdel hard|soft

DESCRIPTION

       Based  on examination of the linux/kernel/sys.c code, it is clear that there are two supported functions that the Ctrl-Alt-Del sequence can
       perform: a hard reset, which immediately reboots the computer without calling sync(2) and without any other preparation; and a soft  reset,
       which sends the SIGINT (interrupt) signal to the init process (this is always the process with PID 1).  If this option is used, the init(8)
       program must support this feature.  Since there are now several init(8) programs in the Linux community, please consult	the  documentation
       for the version that you are currently using.

       ctrlaltdel is usually used in the /etc/rc.local file.

FILES

       /etc/rc.local
