Hi, Pratyush
Thanks for the effort. Let's cc people who may be interested in the problem.
Hi,
Just to clarify things, these patches build on top of the kernel patches you posted a couple of weeks ago right? And these changes in particular make sure the right hardware watchdog driver is loaded into the kdump initrd and correctly load and enabled in the second kernel?
Yes.
The only thing I might add to appease Prarit, is to perhaps add a kdump.conf option to disable loading or (better yet inclusion) of the watchdog driver
I think rd.nowdt suggestion from Dave is to take care of the above requirement.
in the second kernel. Unless he is ok with my other suggestion of adding some logic to makedumpfile instead.
Hummm, not sure if it could take care. We can have other core_collector option as well like scp which might go wrong as well.
