Well, I think it´s a bug also. I´m pretty much sure i didn´t choose to have kexec-tools installed (don´t remember about any chrashdump choice either), except that for the first time I tried the beta/rc jaunty release and maybe it was installed by default or almost (i mean, suggested in the upgrade

So glad to find this!!! We have been struggling too. To be clear: Our 8.10-based Xubuntu machines do not do this. They also had 'kexec-tools" installed on them, and their /etc/default/kexec files have: LOAD_KEXEC=0 # Now we know!! Thank you, thank you All makes sense now. But finding i

I always install kexec as part of a new install b/c I appreciate the fast reboot when things hang (usually with playing mp3's continuously). I do dual boot the current ubuntu release with the previous ubuntu release, as well as a winbloze partition for those moments I just have to... so I do shu

Why not just change /etc/default/kexec to have LOAD_KEXEC=false ? I had this same problem upon upgrading to 9.04 from 8.10. I do not know if kexec-tools was originally installed; but I do know that the behavior happened immediately after the upgrade. I dual-boot Linux with another OS via GRUB; and

Yes I have a problem with that. Probably you don't understand that I'm not complaining if kexec-tools works or not, I' m complaining about how kexec-tools does his job. My problem is that if I install a package like makedumpfile, I don' t know that I' m installing as well a package that radical

I don't understand what the problem is. kexec-tools is not installed by default, so if it is installed, then you installed it yourself or via a dependency of one of these packages: linux-crashdump, makedumpfile The package description for kexec-tools says: "This tool is used to load a kernel in

That's still not a bug. If you don't want the behaviour, uninstall kexec-tools or disable it in /etc/default/kexec. ** Changed in: kexec-tools (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- reboot in jaunty doesn't restart from bios https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/364889 You received this bug notific

well, in this case I think that the bug should come-on because kexec-tools should ask if you want to restart from bios or from the same kernel. It is not good that suddenly your computer change his behaviour without any advise. ... or you prefer that I open a new bug? -- reboot in jaunty doesn
