Hi, Freeman
The patch just auto detect and install drivers.
But I think I'm fine with using extra_modules in kdump.conf though.

Hi Dave,
You once sent a patch to install usb serial driver for ttyUSB0 in
dracut-module-setup:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kexec@lists.fedoraproject.o...
Actually, we can achieve this without any patch by a delicate configuration.
One can use extra_modules configuration entry in /etc/kdump.conf to add
USB serial drivers, e.g:
extra_modules pl2303
And enable the console by making sure 'console=ttyUSB0' is contained
in kdump kernel cmdline.
You may want to take a loot at KDUMP_COMMANDLINE_APPEND in
/etc/sysconf/kdump.conf
if current cmdline includes no 'console=ttyUSB0'.
I suppose we should let the configuration do the job. What do you think?
All the best!
Freeman
