[Test Case] * Install a version of kexec-tools that supports ARM64 * Run the command: sudo kexec -l /boot/<kernel> --initrd=/boot/<initrd> --append="<append string> * You should see the message: kexec_load failed: Function not implemented [Regression Potential] * The proposed config changes are limited to ARM64 architecture, overall risk of regression is low. [Other Info] * Please note that kexec-tools currently is not built for ARM64 * I have an SRU to enable that https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1659618 * I am working with dannf to get kexec-tools to support ARM64 in yakkety.
