Description Robin Johnson archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2024-06-27 16:18:24 UTC
Feature request:
Please include KEXEC functionality in install media. Kernel settings, plus the <256K of kexec-tools.

This enables faster recovery, as well as testing from install media into new kernels.

Do you need it anywhere besides amd64?
