Description Octoploid 2010-11-26 06:10:26 UTC

I load my kernel into kexec with:
kexec -l "/usr/src/linux/arch/x86/boot/bzImage" --append "root=/dev/sdb2 init=/bin/systemd fbcon=rotate:3 drm_kms_helper.poll=0 quiet"

when I then run: systemctl kexec
my system gets rebooted normally and kexec is not called apparently.

Comment 1 Octoploid 2010-11-26 07:16:41 UTC

kexec is hardcoded to /sbin/kexec in src/shutdown.c:352.
On my system (gentoo) kexec lives in /usr/sbin
I changed line 352 to:
const char *args[3] = { "/usr/sbin/kexec", "-e", NULL };
and everything runs fine...
