Unfortunately, "systemctl kexec" does still not work, or at least not as you would expect having kexec-tools in mind. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-March/004760.html implies, that systemd is executing the already loaded kernel, but does not load an kernel itself. This behavior certainly has its use cases, though I think it's not clear in the documentation (systemctl's man page). So before this bug can be closed, the documentation should probably be improved, adding something like: "This option reboots using kexec with a kernel which must manually be loaded beforehand using 'kexec --load'. If no kernel has been loaded, this option does a reboot without using kexec, even if kexec is configured as default for regular reboots in /etc/default/kexec." Interestingly, if you have kexec configured as default, but really want to do a complete reboot through the system firmware, using "systemctl kexec" is the way to go. This is a bit unexpected, but can be quite useful. Kind regards Patrick
