2009-04-27 10:20:33 Andy Whitcroft description Binary package hint: kexec-tools When I have kexec-tools installed, it seems to trigger a kexec whenever I shut down or reboot. This doesn't seem like sensible default behavior, and my reading of the init script seems to indicate that it's not intentional. It happens nonetheless, though.

This doesn't seem like sensible default behavior, and my reading of the init script seems to indicate that it's not intentional. It happens nonetheless, though. === SRU Justification Impact: when kexec-tools is installed reboot is optimised using kexec, the user no longer drops to bios nor sees their bootloader menus. this should be an opt-in change as the user may install kexec to get crash dump functionality and is not expecting reboot to be altered. Fix Description: change the default to disable use of kexec for reboot by default Patch: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26022183/kexec-tools-default-KEXEC_LOAD-false Risks: the change of default may affect previous installs TEST CASE: install kexec-tools and reboot, the bios and bootloader are skipped
