Title:
kexec-tools version bump needed (kexec reboot halts)
Status in kexec-tools package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
kexec halts system on reboot on trusty
kexec: Starting new kernel
32-bit relocation outside of kernel!
-- System halted
The bug is discussed here
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/2014-August/012354.html
and the debian bug is here
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=754288
A workaround for trusty is add the "--entry-32bit" argument to the
kexec initscripts where kexec is used.
s#/sbin/kexec#/sbin/kexec --entry-32bit#g
If a package version bump is unlikely, it might be a good to add this
as an option in /etc/default/kexec ?
