I ran some more tests and found that ending a kde session was causing /boot to be un-mounted. (running kdm 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-2) Attached is a quick hack workaround, as I could not figure out how to determine where in the kde session logout /boot was being un-mounted. In general, not all users w

Package: kexec-tools Severity: normal It now appears that kexec works reliably provided the console is working, but I haven't fully figured out what dependency-based booting was doing with the shutdown/reboot process. Could you please ensure that this version of kexec-tools gets built for i386?
