Description Baoquan He 2024-03-15 02:13:36 UTC

Currently, kdump-sysrq-c cki case failed on all architectures due to not found makedumpfile. E.g

https://datawarehouse.cki-project.org/kcidb/tests/11677991

In the taskout.log, we can see that:

kdump: Kdump is not operational

It could be caused by the recent kexec-tools package splitting. Coiby could have comment on this.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Coiby 2024-03-18 07:23:59 UTC

This issue has been fixed in kexec-tools-2.0.28-6.fc41.x86_64 which now depends on makedumpfile. And I can confirm this issue has been gone with Fedora-Rawhide-20240317.n.0.
