Identifying that fadump is being used for the first time maybe a challenge.
This makes it tricky on when to rebuild default initrd image with
fadump support.
Any suggestions on this would be of great help.
Why do we need to identify that fadump is being enabled first time. If
you can rebuild initrd right first time, then you can rebuild it right
second time too.
Thanks
