Description Qian Cai 2010-07-23 03:48:31 UTC 
Description of problem:
mkdumprd makes assumption that all the commands it needed are present in the system without make those required in the rpm spec. After installed from the minimal install and then install kexec-tools alone, the mkdumprd could generate wrong logic due missing of several utilities.

# service  kdump restart

Here you go, please try installing with this rpm:
http://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/brew/taskinfo?taskID=2620470

it should pull in the missing depends
