Description Timothée Ravier 2021-06-14 16:47:55 UTC

Description of problem:

Starting with RHCOS 4.8, /boot is mounted RO and kdump should use another folder to store its temporary initrd.

A backport of https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/kexec-tools/c/75bdcb7399b6fe48032a8db534e18b01206601bc?branch=rawhide should fix this.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Latest kexec-tools from RHEL 8.5

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start kdump on an RHCOS node

Actual results:

Failure as /boot is not writtable

Expected results:

kdump initrd is stored in /var/lib/kdump

Hi, 
Thanks for the report. this issue will be fixed in 1918499 for RHEL8.5,  the "Internal Target Release" field in bugzilla is the target release we will fix the bug.  The "Version" is not :)
