#399 kdump enabled and configured by default in f39
Closed: Fixed 6 months ago by catanzaro. Opened 6 months ago by chrismurphy.

Following installation using Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-39-20231009.n.0.iso, and subsequent dnf update a new kernel is installed and I see:

kdump: For kernel=/boot/vmlinuz-6.5.6-300.fc39.x86_64, crashkernel=1G-4G:192M,4G-64G:256M,64G-:512M now. Please reboot the system for the change to take effet. Note if you don't want kexec-tools to manage the crashkernel kernel parameter, please set auto_reset_crashkernel=no in /etc/kdump.conf.

Indeed the 6.5.6 kernel entry is modified as described to enable kdump persistently. I don't see a feature change for this behavior. kexec-tools is installed, removing it removes a bunch of stuff we've had in Workstation for a while so it seems there is a change in kexec-tools to enable kdump by default.


@jforbes Any idea if this is intended?

I'm confused what's actually causing this behavior in Fedora 39. The /etc/kdump.conf in Fedora 38 contains the same setting: auto_reset_crashkernel yes

Tentative fix is being tested, thanks @adamwill - closing this issue and will continue to track on the QA side.

Thanks for picking up on this, @chrismurphy !

Reopening since the bug is not fixed.

I created this ticket to request that FESCo designate this as a special F39 blocker.

We don't need to track this ourselves anymore because it is accepted blocker. Also, it's fixed.
