Looking for doc on kernel crash dump handling.

[George R Goffe]

Hi,

I'm trying to help shoot a possible kernel bug which may create a dump. I'm trying to find doc on how to enable the crashdump "features" of my FC33 (Rawhide) system.

tldp.org seems to be out of date
docs.fedoraproject.org doesn't seem to have a search facility...

Can anyone give me a hint please?

Best regards,

George...

Ask on the Fedora Test list (which is the appropriate place for Rawhide
anyway).

How one configured crash dumps had not significantly changed in a long
time (from what I know).

If the hardware gets a significant hardware error and does not deliver
an NMI to the os, but does force a hw reset,  then you won't get a
crashdump.
