Package: kexec-tools
Version: 1.101-2
Severity: wishlist

Hey,

for kexec to be actually useful, there needs to be some way to not just do a
kexec, but also do a proper shutdown first.

I have solved this right now by prepending the "reboot" command in
/etc/init.d/reboot command with "kexec -e" (which will fail and allow the
normal reboot command to run when no kernel has been loaded before by kexec).
Something similar should be done by kexec-tools, though this will probably
need some modifications in the sysvinit package too.

Gr.
