Public bug reported:
Unclear whether to report it against kexec-tools or systemd.
After upgrading to Ubuntu 18.04, the „systemctl kexec” command gives the
following error message:
Cannot find the ESP partition mount point.
What's interesting is that strace shows that systemctl tries to find the
EFI partition before it emits the error message, like it was expecting
an EFI system. My laptop is not capable of EFI, and it wasn't a problem
for previous Ubuntu releases – the „systemctl kexec” command worked fine
before.
Here is my systemd version:
root@thinkpad:~# systemd --version
systemd 237
+PAM +AUDIT +SELINUX +IMA +APPARMOR +SMACK +SYSVINIT +UTMP +LIBCRYPTSETUP
+GCRYPT +GNUTLS +ACL +XZ +LZ4 +SECCOMP +BLKID +ELFUTILS +KMOD -IDN2 +IDN -PCRE2
default-hierarchy=hybrid
And my kexec-tools version is 1:2.0.16-1ubuntu1.
I attached an strace output.
