Description Jiri Dluhos 2007-08-28 12:15:07 UTC

When kdump is configured from YaST, it does not produce the dump automatically; the kernel-dump kernel starts correctly and boots into single-user mode, but then it only produces a root shell and nothing more; the user has to copy all the files manually.

Jiri, please attach /etc/sysconfig/kdump.

Comment 6 Jiri Dluhos 2007-08-29 13:54:25 UTC

It seems that this bug is fixed in yast2-kdump 2.15.6; local dumps work well there.
