Known bug - this service should be disabled by default

Yes. BTW does kdump service work on your computer? I see this problem →

Thanks for the information. So, it is a tool for collecting crash
data from developers during panics.
The specific problem I got for kdump fail is:
No kdump kernel image found. [WARNING]
Tried to locate /boot/vmlinux-2.6.15-1.2009.4.2_FC5hypervisorkdump
And my kernel is: /boot/vmunix-2.6.15-1.2009.4.2_FC5hypervisor
So it appears that the "kdump" string was added at the end, and if
this is the case - the kernel file definitely does not exist.
The kdump service failed to start.
Thanks,
Dan
