Description of problem: There is one opportunity of a correction in man page of kdump.conf. 1. Snippet from man page of kdump.conf: -------------- blacklist <list of kernel modules> blacklist option was recently being used to prevent loading modules in initramfs. General terminology for blacklist has been that module is present in initramfs but it is not actually loaded in kernel. Hence retaining blacklist option creates more confusing behavior. It has been deprecated. Instead, use rd.driver.blacklist option on second kernel to blacklist a certain module. One can edit /etc/sysconfig/kdump.conf and edit KDUMP_COMMANDLINE_APPEND to pass kernel command line options. Refer to dracut.cmdline man page for more details on module blacklist option. -------------- Here, mentioned file name is /etc/sysconfig/kdump.conf. Expected file name is '/etc/sysconfig/kdump'. Additional Information: It is same on all minor versions RHEL 7 as well.
