| Nov 20, 2020 at 18:36 | comment | added | rudib | @Nils technically it totally is a solution, but the question is basically about using linux as a boot/chainlader. But you're not wrong, especially if there are enough resources, a vm makes a lot of sense. | |
| Nov 20, 2020 at 18:28 | comment | added | rudib | @Pourko I missed that you already tried grub4dos. I managed to load it on first try (0.4.4 from sourceforge). See my updated answer. | |
| Nov 20, 2020 at 17:31 | comment | added | Nils | Is starting a Windows-VM from Linux an alternative way for you? | |

| Nov 15, 2020 at 16:01 | comment | added | Pourko | I remember being able to kexec to grub4dos a long time ago, but when I tried to do that now, I couldn't make it work. (with the last known version of grub4dos circa 2009) | |
| Nov 15, 2020 at 15:48 | comment | added | Pourko | "grub-reboot" is not the solution, as I am speciffically trying to avoid a full reboot. If for example the Linux kernel updates the processor microcode -- that microcode won't survive a fill reboot. | |
| Nov 15, 2020 at 15:29 | comment | added | rudib | @JesúsÁngel Yes, that was the solution I settled on back then. I was looking for a faster way to do it (without having to reboot). | |
| Nov 15, 2020 at 13:25 | comment | added | Jesús Ángel | Why don't you set up grub to boot to linux by default. Then, on booting the linux machine, you can execute the required commands and reboot to Windows with: grub-reboot. More info: wiki.debian.org/GrubReboot | |
| Nov 15, 2020 at 9:19 | comment | added | rudib | @Pourko I'm not sure about windows loader, but windows itself seems to be possible. phoronix.com/… However, they didn't seem to show how they did it and it might not work with the default kexec. | |
| Nov 15, 2020 at 4:47 | comment | added | Pourko | Alternatively, could I kexec directly to a Windows loader? | |
