I can reproduce this (and see bug #785719 against "general"). As far as I can see it happens with systemd-sysv providing init but not with old-fashioned sysvinit (and systemd-shim); it must be a side-effect from the cure for #764360. With PID1=sysvinit, reloads via kexec work, or I can explicitly halt the machine via "shutdown". The one problem is that "reboot" (and therefore also "coldreboot") ignores the options "-h" and "-p" which the man page claims should result in a halt or poweroff. However, this seems to be a separate bug in the reboot command (it's still true even if kexec-tools isn't installed). Under PID1=systemd, kexec reloads work correctly, but shutdown, halt, reboot, and so on have been replaced by symlinks to /bin/systemctl, and all of them seem to be interpreted the same way - they all do the same thing as a desktop shutdown button or control-alt-delete, meaning that they do a kexec reload (oh, and so does "systemctl poweroff"). Weirdly, "shutdown -h +5" *does* obey the "five minute delay" option, but it then performs a warm reboot instead of a halt. -- JBR with qualifications in linguistics, experience as a Debian sysadmin, and probably no clue about this particular package -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
