Package: kexec-tools Version: 1:2.0.25-3+b1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, When I call "reboot" or "systemctl reboot" I ends up with a kexec reboot.
I expect a cold reboot. I have enabled kexec-tools as it is a dependency of kdump-tools. I supposed enabling a kexec kernel was a requirement to get kdump tools to dump to /var/crash. Maybe I misunderstood. In the journal I get after systemd telling it is rebooting: " oct. 05 21:59:59 cyclope systemd-logind[1954]: The system will reboot now! (...) oct. 05 21:59:59 cyclope systemd-logind[1954]: System is rebooting. (...) oct. 05 22:00:00 cyclope systemd[1]: Stopping kexec-load.service - LSB: Load kernel image with kexec... (...) oct. 05 22:00:02 cyclope kexec-load[6144]: Loading new kernel image into memory...done. oct. 05 22:00:02 cyclope systemd[1]: kexec-load.service: Deactivated successfully. oct. 05 22:00:02 cyclope systemd[1]: Stopped kexec-load.service - LSB: Load kernel image with kexec. oct. 05 22:00:02 cyclope systemd[1]: kexec-load.service: Consumed 1.208s CPU time. (...) oct. 05 22:00:02 cyclope systemd[1]: Stopping kexec.service - LSB: Execute the kexec -e command to reboot system... (...) oct. 05 22:00:02 cyclope kexec[6439]: Will now restart with kexec. " This even though the kexec-tools Debian REAME tells: /usr/share/doc/kexec-tools/README.Debian "reboot" command with ystemd will by default do a cold reboot. To kexec a new kernel with systemd, use "systemctl kexec". I believe this is a new issue maybe from my upgrade in June of kexec-tools from 1:2.0.20-2.1, 1:2.0.25-3+b1. That is I did not change my kexec-tools config and I believe monthes ago systemctl reboot gave me a cold reboot, not a kexec one. Note that it does not means the setup was fine beforehand as I do not have a single kdump crash file in /var/crash. I do not know if kexec reboot was even working with the previous version. Now it kexec reboots fine ... but even when I ask systemctl for a default coldreboot. I don't believe this affects unstable as kexec-tools 1:2.0.27-1 removed the initscripts that are called by systemd at reboot. Maybe this is expected behavior with systemd-sysv installed?
