Problem here is, that the system won't fail on boot but rather reboot from the previous boot device, which brings up the installer again. Hence, the system won't be shut down. Therefore, we have to do it explicitly on a case by case basis. >>> The reipl tool failing isn't really a doomed case.

Exactly. > Device name renaming too could affect this. Interesting new point. Could you please give some example scenario, because I don't fully understand yet?
