kexec\-bootloader takes the default section of bootloader configuration and loads that kernel, initrd with \fIkexec \-l\fR and the respective command line\&.

Under systemd kexec\-bootloader may be invoked by kexec\-load\&.service (/usr/bin/systemctl kexec) to perform a kexec\&. To emulate previous SLE configurable behaviour where kexec occurs automatically at system reboot the systemd reboot target should be altered via \*(Aqln \-s /usr/lib/systemd/system/kexec\&.target /etc/systemd/system/reboot\&.target
