I don't know why kexec-tools was installed, but now, it isn't any longer and the reboot-cycle is broken. What I fail to gather from your response, especially from it isn't any longer and the reboot-cycle is broken. is if you really have kexec-tools uninstalled but normal binaries like /sbin/reboot are still redirected to some kexec's program? Is that the case? Or you mean that you have managed to break out of the kernel-only reboot cycle, all is well and the bug may be closed? ;-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

The symptoms you describe (restart bypassing GRUB) look suspiciously close to what kexec-tools does (it redirects /sbin/reboot and friends to its own binaries which do hot kernel reboot, that is, not going through the usual cold path of going through the BIOS, boot loader etc).

Bug#765719: general: System restarts on shutdown -h now
Package: general Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? After the last upgrade, the system would not halt any more. Instead, it runs into a restart cycle. The restart bypasses GRUB, i.e. one a computer with multiple OS, it restarts linux directly. The machine in use is a Lenovo Thinkpad X220. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? I tried some hints from users with similar experiences, including the acpi=force setting, the selection of a different kernel at the first start, a manual intervention (for i in /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/power/control; do echo on $i; done) on the USB power control settings, and shutdowning in all flavors. * What was the outcome of this action? Continues restarting -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=de_DE@euro (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
