On sle15-sp5 the setup works, i.e. systemctl enable/start kexec-load.service,but then

$ sudo systemctl kexec No kexec kernel loaded and autodetection failed. Automatic loading works only on systems booted with EFI.

I was legacy booting from an USB stick into an installed system (broken grub install on harddisk). Now I UEFI-booted from the USB stick into the installed system. Now I can run $ sudo systemctl kexec [...] [ OK ] Reached target System Shutdown. [ OK ] Reached target Late Shutdown Services. Starting Reboot via kexec .... That's it. Linux console switching is dead. Still you can change the Numlock switch LED. But that's it. It doesn't look like kexec would still work with SP5, let alone SP6. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
