I want to change the behavior to:
- No package config option to do automatic kexec reboot.
- "reboot" command causes a cold reboot
- Use "kexec-reboot" command to do a kexec reboot. "kexec-reboot" is a
script installed by kexec-tools package.
- kexec-tools package no longer provides coldreboot script which is no
longer necessary.
Any comments/feedback? I intend to proceed with implementing new
behavior next week after Wednesday unless there are objections or
other ideas.
I assume you are aware of https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/15029 ?
Hello Michael,
Thanks for pointing that out. Yes, I have seen it and I have been
working on finding a working solution for Debian. The kexec image loader
in systemctl works with systems that create a boot loader spec file
which Debian doesn't. In the absence of boot loader spec file, you get
that message. The script I am adding, kexec-load-kernel, allows
systemctl kexec to work if one runs this script before calling systemctl
kexec.
Since we have more automation coming to systemd in trixie, I am going to
limit kexec-tools package to providing only helper scripts to load a
kernel and call systemctl kexec. Hopefully we will have a working
reliable solution with that in place.
Thanks,
Khalid
