Package: kexec-tools
Version: 1:2.0.25-3+deb12u1
Even though /etc/default/kexec is configured correctly
KERNEL_IMAGE="/vmlinuz"
INITRD="/initrd.img"
APPEND=""
USE_GRUB_CONFIG=false
and the files/symlinks exist, systemctl kexec replies
No kexec kernel loaded and autodetection failed.
Automatic loading works only on systems booted with EFI.
/usr/share/doc/kexex-tools/README.Debian doesn't elaborate where
the EFI restriction came from. From my understanding kexec had been
introduced to *bypass* BIOS/UEFI initialization at boot time and
to let the new kernel do the work instead. Why does it bother now?
Nor does the README explain why kexec-tools' defaults file is
ignored (apparently), what kind of "autodetection" has been tried
instead, and what magic needs to be applied in general to make
kexec work somehow. It did for Bullseye.
I got similar problems for Testing (kexec-tools 1:2.0.29-2+b2).

Harri
