Is there a chance that this can be brought back?
What is the benefit? When I install, the reboot into the 2nd half still happens automagically.
From my pov, it once saved me from significant work since the install process wouldn't properly install grub on a sw-raid setup. Instead of having to fix that from a rescue CD, I could fix it before rebooting right after install.
Not sure it's a whoppingly significant advantage, but I did appreciate it.
I guess the issue is that the boot-up (boot loader etc.) isn't properly exercised when the 2nd phase is started with kexec. I think I remember situations where a machine is installed+booted over PXE - when the 2nd phase happens via kexec and no local boot-loader is installed, it doesn't quite work. Definitely a corner-case though. Anyway, I was just wondering what Roman saw as a significant benefit of using kexec. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (18.4°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
