My experience with kexec has been poor. Every time I kexec, I have to load and unload a bunch of drivers to restore the system to a functional state. Critically i915 sometimes needs to be reloaded after boot to get the display to actually work. And on a VM I had issues with the `cirrus` display driver failing to unload correctly leaving the system unable to boot. Its random and totally unreliable for desktop use. Aside, this is a nice script that prompts for the LUKS password _before_ kexec: https://gist.github.com/webstrand/381307348e24c28d5c4c9a5981871bd7 https://gist.github.com/webstrand/381307348e24c28d5c4c9a5981... it does assume you're using opensuse's naming convention of calling the root partition cr_root. I used this because my bootloader was also encrypted, so rebooting into an initramfs with ssh was impossible.
