Package: kexec-tools
Version: 1:2.0.1-1
Severity: important

I saw an error when I was trying to reboot using kexec that
the /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-4-686 file was not found.
I added an ls command to the kexec-tools script to show 
what files it found in /boot and it appeared that it was
seeing only some much older files from when I did not have a
separate /boot partition.

With dependency-based booting, there appears to be a race 
condition on whether /boot is still mounted before kexec attempts
to load a kernel, as I had previously had success using kexec and
dependency-based booting with a separate /boot partition.

Is there any code in kexec-tools to make sure that a kernel load
is attempted before /boot is un-mounted?
