(/me builds factory kdump for leap-42.1)
homer:/root # rpm -q kdump kdump-0.8.15-99.x86_64 ... And with this kdump version, kdump/crash works fine through 4.6 kernels, SLE, SLERT or homebrew. After that, makedumpfile ceases to function, and taking makedumpfile from factory helps not at all.. but at least things work properly until 4.7.
For the record, the reason I continued to have trouble dumping kernels > 4.6 was that I forgot to whack the existing kdump initrd after installing makedumpfile, so it would be rebuilt (install order matters). I took kexec-tools and crash as well on general principal, and put the lot into a local directory repository, and am green across the board.. at least until the merge window opens in a couple days ;-) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
