The addon is in kexec-tools package. It's built as a subpackage named: kexec-tools-anaconda-addon-$(version).rpm
So lorax just needs to include the kexec-tools-anaconda-addon package? Note that you'll also need to do this for spin-kickstarts if you want it to work from livecd-tools created media.

Could you elaborate how to do this? I know nothing about spin-kickstarts. Per discussion with Vratislav it will be enough for enabling it in lorax.. Thanks Dave
We can't optionally add packages to the installation media. You can make it optional in Anaconda with a cmdline, but it always has to be present on the boot.iso Live media is created from spin-kickstarts which maintains a separate list of packages. You need to talk to mattdm about getting it added there.

Ok, thanks a lot. Ccing him here. Dave
I have reverted this change for lorax-21.18-1, the addon was causing anaconda to crash, making it hard for others to make progress. I should have tested it in more detail before I added it to lorax. In the future can you make sure that an updates.img of your changes don't cause problems with the latest boot.iso before building the new package. Once this is in lorax any problems in the addon will be included in the next boot.iso compose so we need to make sure we catch things before the package is built.

Hi, Brian, Sorry about that. It previously works when we worked on it. I did some test yestoday the addon does not show up. With latest github code there's some problem for startup_id property. It does not work on gtk3. We have a seperate glade file for Fedora in fact you have a patch for original old tree. I have fixed it in github and tested with latest F21 boot.iso. Will update to Fedora ASAP. BTW, we have added inst.kdump_addon cmdline so that by default the addon does not show unless user specify inst.kdump_addon=on Thanks Dave
Could you confirm if the crash is caused by startup_id?

Here is a new build for F21: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=547620
Thanks for the quick response. I've tested it against today's boot.iso and everything looks good. I've also talked to clumens and next week he's going to get a test setup for the adding in the anaconda team's jenkins system. I'll re-enable it in the next lorax build.

Brian, can you please tell me what is the current status of this bug? Is the kdump addon enabled in F21 lorax? I'd like to push changes for bug 1116323 to f21-branch, but I'm not sure I can know.
kdump is now included.
