** Description changed: Binary package hint: kexec-tools When I have kexec-tools installed, it seems to trigger a kexec whenever I shut down or reboot. This doesn't seem like sensible default behavior, and my reading of the init script seems to indicate that it's not intentional. It happens nonetheless, though. + + === + + SRU Justification + + Impact: when kexec-tools is installed reboot is optimised using kexec, + the user no longer drops to bios nor sees their bootloader menus. this + should be an opt-in change as the user may install kexec to get crash + dump functionality and is not expecting reboot to be altered. + + Fix Description: change the default to disable use of kexec for reboot + by default + + Patch: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26022183/kexec-tools-default- + KEXEC_LOAD-false + + Risks: the change of default may affect previous installs + + TEST CASE: install kexec-tools and reboot, the bios and bootloader are + skipped
