Description
Setup
- Install Fedora on your machine
- After system installed, check if kexec-tools kernel-debuginfo and crash is installed via
rpm -q kexec-tools kernel-debuginfo crash
If not, you can install via yumyum install kexec-tools kernel-debuginfo crash
- Reserve crashkernel for kdump by grubby
grubby --args="crashkernl=128M" --update-kernel=$(grubby --default-kernel)
Reboot system and check /proc/cmdlinecat /proc/cmdline | grep "crashkernel"
- Edit /etc/kdump.conf, add this line:
ext4 /dev/mapper/vg_dhcp6558-lv_root
core_collector makedumpfile -E -d 31
- Apply changes and start kdump via
service kdump restart
- Edit /etc/kdump.conf, add this line:
debug_mem_level 0
We should test 0/1/2/3.
How to test
- Trigger crash via:
echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger
- Check console output that debug_mem_level is enabled
Expected Results
- Dump process could be monitered if console is connected
- System reboot successfully after dump vmcore finshed
- More mem infos should be find via console
