Hi Georg,

On x86 the dump configuration (kdump) is done in firstboot, which happens after install and the first time the system comes up.  Now that we have firstboot working on z, to be more consistent, we should add the z dump configuration in firstboot instead of anaconda.  What do you think?

-Brad

Comment 5 Georg Markgraf 2011-10-28 15:13:50 UTC
Hi Brad,
Yes first boot would also be ok instead of anaconda
Just a simple to handle user interface for setting up the dump devices  

Site note: 
Good news -new to me- that first boot is functional again for System z
Its been rejected for years throughout RHEL 5

Accept reject for R 6.1 - will request this for R 6.2 again

Per discussion with John
I assign this feature to the RHEL 6.3 tracking list
This also get discussed in Fedora via ticket 707034

The process of mirroring from/to Fedora is actually in discussion
1) assign this feature BZ to the Fedora ticket
when Fedora is resolved re-assign to R 6.3
2) create reverse mirror of the Fedora ticket and have parallel tracking

As discussed I re-call

 + Yes setting up dump devices in first boot would also be ok
 + just a simple to handle user interface for setting up the dump devices

 -> Setting this up in first boot would avoid any changes in installer ?
