Description Xiaoqing Wei 2013-09-06 09:48:00 UTC 
Description of problem:

dumping to NFS fails if the netdev cfg name is not same as itself

# brctl show switch
bridge name	bridge id		STP enabled	interfaces
switch		8000.b8ac6f3af4f2	no		eth1

# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0 
DEVICE=switch
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Bridge
DELAY=0
STP=0
#MTU=9216
IPV6INIT=no
USERCTL=no


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kexec-tools-2.0.0-245.el6.x86_64

kdump fails,
============================ extract the kdump initrafs

BUS_ID=""

it's empty

then dump would success.

Hi,

Since this is a rhel6.5 bug, did you tried the latest version, e.g Release 2.0.0-267.

Baoquan
