Comment # 50 on bug 1188745 from Stefan Dirsch
Tried on a sle15-sp6 with latest kernel. Already the setup fails.

I'm using this doc:
https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP3/html/SLES-all/cha-tuning-kexec.html#cha-tuning-kexec-basic-usage

localhost:~ # systemctl enable kexec-load.service
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/kexec.target.wants/kexec-load.service →
/usr/lib/systemd/system/kexec-load.service.

localhost:~ # systemctl start kexec-load.service
Job for kexec-load.service failed because the control process exited with error
code.
See "systemctl status kexec-load.service" and "journalctl -xeu
kexec-load.service" for details.
