Actually no :-)

I am integrating kexec with SystemImager, this will give the user a
new option where they do not need to reboot and it will start up the
imaged kernel automatically.  I have tested this manually and it
works, the only issue I am facing is how to accurately retrieve the
append and initrd options to pass to kexec (--append and --initrd).

For SystemImager, SystemConfigurator is the gatekeeper for these kind
of information, so I was thinking of using SystemConfigurator to
gather this info, but this is assuming that all users of SystemImager
will use SystemConfigurator so I would just like to confirm this.

I will probably send an email to Sean Dague to see if he has any other
suggestions for me.

I plan to add a new post-install action called "kexec", which will
automatically boot up the imaged kernel -- if you have any other
suggestions on how this should be implemented, please feel free to let
me know.

Thanks,

Bernard
