Wouldn't a simple strjoina work just as well here?<br>
<br>
We also have the boot loader specification. We really need to follow<br>
it here, and look for kernels in any place where we would install them.<br>
So this scheme most likely would have to be more comples.<br>

No need to to do this check, the open()s below work just as well.<br>

<br>
I think this should be changed too. I'd very much prefer to get an error if kexec fails.<br>
Maybe we could add a parameter like --always-reboot to reboot as a fallback if the<br>
kenrel cannot be loaded.<br>
