On sysvinit syustems, kexec-load is called upon +reboot to load a new kexec kernel if kexec is enabled in +/etc/default/kexec. kexec script is called just before reboot script. It +checks if kexec is enabled and a kexec'able kernel is loaded. If yes, it +kexecs a new kernel instead of reboot. As a result, kexec is +automatically enabled upon installation of kexec-tools package if kexec +is enabled in /etc/default/kexec through debconf option. + +"reboot" command with ystemd will by default do a cold reboot. To kexec +a new kernel with systemd, use "systemctl kexec". |
