Comment 3 Akira Imamura 2006-11-08 16:37:30 UTC
It's been modified in 124.el5 but it's not legible yet. So I attached
a patch based on -124.el5. Please apply it.

Thanks,
Akira

Comment 4 Neil Horman 2006-11-08 17:52:56 UTC
In my view, it is just as legible now, as with your patch.

Comment 5 Akira Imamura 2006-11-08 19:14:55 UTC
There are several lines that contain more than 80 characters as below.

# core_collector makedumpfile <options>
#                         This directive allows you to use the
#                         dump filtering program makedumpfile to retrieve your c
ore,
#                         which on some arches can drastically reduce core file
size.
#                         See /sbin/makedumpfile --help for a list of options.
#                         Note that the -i and -g options are not needed here, a
s the
#                         initrd will automatically be populated with a config f
ile
#                         appropriate for the running kernel
#
# default <reboot | shell>
#                         if all of the above fail, do the default action.
#                 reboot: If the default action is reboot simply reboot the
#                         system and loose the core that you are trying to retri
eve
#                 shell:  if the default action is shell, then drop to an msh se
ssion
#                         inside the initramfs from where you can try to record
the core
#                         manually.  exiting this shell reboots the system
#                         NOTE: If no default action is specified, the initramfs
 will
#                         mount the root file system and run init.


In order to fix them up, I worked on the patch, and attached it. I don't think
kdump.conf in -124.el5 legible. So please apply it.

Thanks,
Akira
