Hi,
I am trying to make working kdump on Fedora 7. The system is
Linux don2 2.6.22.5-76.fc7 #1 SMP Thu Aug 30 13:08:59 EDT 2007 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
with
kexec-tools-1.101-71.fc7
I honestly follow instructions from howto provided with kexec-tools
package
/usr/share/doc/kexec-tools-1.101/kexec-kdump-howto.txt
Everything works well, kexec -l works fine and kdump service starts
fine, except that when I do force-crash to test it, then after the
system is rebooted there is not any memory dump in /var/crash. Attached
is a kernel log acquired with a serial cable starting from SysRq trigger
and up to the successful restart of the original kernel. From what I can
see in this log crash kernel boots and goes up to the point, where the
normal kernel starts initrd execution. But right after that instead of
starting kdump initrd crash kernel suddenly does the cold reboot and the
normal system start happens. What's wrong with my setup? Has anybody
run/tested this functionality in Fedora 7?
