Actual results: A vmcore file of several GBs Expected results: A vmcore file whose size is under 100M Additional info:
Fedora 25 kernel enabled kaslr by default so kdump default config does not work, Pratyush has patches to fix it, it will be likely accepted by upstream soon. So we should fix it in F25 compose.
