Some remarks:

 - Dump Level

    It's not clear if a [X] means if that pages are included or
    excluded. Please add some label about this (not in tooltip or in
    help text).
 
 - Dump Target

    This is wrong. The saving target is _independent_ of the
    partition (initrd based saving).

    Because pictures say more then words, I made some drawings at
    http://www.bwalle.de/temp/kdump/index.html. I hope it's clear now
    what I want.

    Please make the combo box for the partition editable. The user
    should be able to enter any string he wants additional to use an
    item from the combo box. Please also display the Linux partition
    naming in brackets or whatever way you like.

    And make clear that the user doesn't have any port here, or enter
    the default port (-> /etc/services). Also, make sure that only
    numbers are allowed here, a spin box would be an option.

 - Expert Settings

    The user should not be able to choose the initrd but the kernel.
    The naming scheme is:

        /boot/vmlinu[zx]-<kernel_string>[.gz]

    The user should only enter kernel_string in the GUI. If you
    implement a file dialog, strip out the rest and give a warning if
    the scheme doesn't match.

    The initrd is _always_

       /boot/initrd-<kernel_string>

    If the user wants to reuse a kernel, he can symlink. I think users
    that have the experience how to build a custom initrd know how to
    use symlink properly. :-)



Thanks,
   Bernhard
