--- Comment #9 from Maciej Pilichowski
kexec -l/-e makes no attempt to clean up hardware before transitioning to the new kernel
So it is not suitable for installation then, because there is no way for interacting with the process of booting, if anything goes bad, for example entering the password -- how am I to enter anything if my display is broken.
I expect if you try it from the booted system
I did -- see above. If I may -- "premature optimization is root of evil". This is textbook case. Seconds saved on booting up computer, and it does not even work for old hardware (Mac is mid 2009, Dell is around 2004), "troubles" with incoming computers are simple middle name of entire concept, for this report we already lost more time than bunch of seconds. So why installer does not use plain and simple restart, without all this "optimization"? There is enough problems with OS, why bringing more? After all, installation is done once, I would understand speeding up booting up installed system, but installer... My 2 cents for consideration. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
