http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1039937 Bug ID: 1039937 Summary: kdump fails to load with kernel 4.11 Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel Assignee: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: jfunk@funktronics.ca QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- I can't seem to get kdump working with the 4.11 kernel. I actually have the same issue on another platform with a vanilla 4.11.1. I'm running kernel-default-4.11.0-1.1.x86_64 with this cmdline, set up using defaults with yast2 kdump: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.11.0-1-default root=UUID=dd6a8147-d379-47cd-b339-d3883b1fe011 resume=/dev/sda2 splash=silent quiet showopts crashkernel=135M,high crashkernel=72M,low Here is what dmesg reports regarding the reservation: [ 0.000000] Reserving 72MB of low memory at 2896MB for crashkernel (System low RAM: 3272MB) [ 0.000000] Reserving 135MB of memory at 33120MB for crashkernel (System RAM: 32438MB) The kdump service is in failed state, and if I run the script manually, I get this: jamesoakley:~ # /lib/kdump/load.sh ELF core (kcore) parse failed Cannot load /boot/vmlinuz-4.11.0-1-default Looking at the kexec-tools code, it appears that there a few situations that can cause that parse failed message, where it simply returns -1 with no other indication. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
