I have an application where I need to boot to Linux, execute automated scripts and then automatically boot to Windows. Can I use Kexec to run grub?
Another use case would be to boot a Linux kernel to update the processor microcode, and then
kexec
to GRUB or Syslinux to boot Windows -- because the microcode won't survive a full reboot.
I've heard of grub4dos
(link (unavailable) , archived version ), but it seems to be discontinued, so is there a way to do it with GRUB2?
I would basically need a loadable image of GRUB for kexec
. I tried to load the images found in this explanation , but they don't seem to work. Thanks for any hints.

Note:
Found this post from back in 2014, which said that this was not yet implemented in kexec.
