Hi Ian,
I've just tried on a fresh F42 VM and it seems to work correctly.
Out of curiosity, what is the contents of /proc/sys/kernel/
bootloader_type after unsuccessful kexec (i.e. normal reboot) in your case?
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/bootloader_type
33
(Google searches indicate that this corresponds to SYSLINUX, but I am
using systemd-boot.)
Also can you make sure you don't have $SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_AUTO_KEXEC=
variable set when calling systemctl reboot after manually loading kexec
kernel.
It's not set in my shell (either root or a normal user), and a recursive
grep of my entire filesystem shows that string only appears in
/usr/share/doc/systemd/ENVIRONMENT.md, so I'm as confident as I can be
that nothing is setting it.
