From 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Javier Martinez Canillas Date: Tue, 9 Apr 2019 13:12:40 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Don't assume that boot commands will only return on fail While it's true that for most loaders the boot command never returns, it may be the case that it does. For example the GRUB emulator boot command calls to systemctl kexec which in turn does an asynchonous call to kexec. So in this case GRUB will wrongly assume that the boot command fails and print a "Failed to boot both default and fallback entries" even when the kexec call later succeeds.
