Description Mike Burns 2012-03-23 12:30:13 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #805577 +++

Description of problem:
When booting ovirt-node without the rhgb boot parameter one can see that rhev-h regenerates the kdump ramdisk image on every boot (alongside with few errors about missing modules but that's probably to be expected).

This slows down a boot a bit, not sure whether this is a bug or a feature.

This is working as designed.  It was done this way to support stateless and diskless operation.  It's possible that we could generate the image once during the installation or upgrade process and store it for subsequent boots.  

The makes this an RFE instead of a bug

will investigate for 2.4.0

pushing to target release 3.5, assuming its not planned for 3.4 at this point...
Comment 2 Itamar Heim 2014-06-22 12:31:35 UTC 
Closing old bugs. If this issue is still relevant/important in current version, please re-open the bug.
