Hi,
Just to clarify things, these patches build on top of the kernel patches you
posted a couple of weeks ago right? And these changes in particular make
sure the right hardware watchdog driver is loaded into the kdump initrd and
correctly load and enabled in the second kernel?
Yes.
The only thing I might add to appease Prarit, is to perhaps add a kdump.conf
option to disable loading or (better yet inclusion) of the watchdog driver
I think rd.nowdt suggestion from Dave is to take care of the above requirement.
in the second kernel. Unless he is ok with my other suggestion of
adding
some logic to makedumpfile instead.
Hummm, not sure if it could take care. We can have other core_collector option
as well like scp which might go wrong as well.
