Description Giacomo Montagner 2011-03-07 19:44:33 UTC 
Description of problem:

It seems related to bug 572569: /sbin/mkdumprd tries to use nash to build 
initramfs, but nash is no longer available. 

# service kdump restart
Stopping kdump:                                            [  OK  ]
Detected /etc/kdump.conf or /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35.11-83.fc14.x86_64 change
Rebuilding /boot/initrd-2.6.35.11-83.fc14.x86_64kdump.img
WARNING: using /root for temporary files
/sbin/mkdumprd: line 951: nash: command not found
Starting kdump:                                            [  OK  ]


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kexec-tools-2.0.0-39.fc14.1.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make a change to /etc/kdump.conf to trigger a rebuild of initramfs
2. service kdump restart
  
Actual results:
Apparently initrd for crash kernel is generated, but I cannot tell 
if it might fail with some dm configuration. According to comment on 
line 1477 of /sbin/mkdumprd: 
# nash should do lvm probing for us and write its own configs.

I suppose this fails, at least. 

Expected results:
No warnings (and no use of nash into the script).
Comment 1 Neil Horman 2011-03-07 19:55:36 UTC 
yeah, it should work just fine, that whole emitdms function that spawns that error no longer needs to be there, and does nothing.  I'll remove it from f14 and rawhide shortly.
