Description of problem: When running the kernel-rt-3.10.0-xxx (provided by MRG-RT product) on an RHEL6 in a system with EFI, the kdump does not work. When the user hits sysrq + c, the system hangs without sending any information to the serial console. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-rt-3.10.0-229.rt56.147.el6rt.x86_64 kexec-tools-2.0.0-280.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot the system with efi enabled 2. Try to crash the system 3. System hangs Actual results: System hangs Expected results: kdump created Additional info: Workarounds: There are two workarounds for the problem. The first is to boot the system disabling EFI using the noefi kernel parameter. The second is to umount debugfs before starting kdump service.
Daniel Can you answer the question from QE why using 3.10 kernel with RHEL6 userspace? and Why not use RHEL7 user space?
Hi Qiao, The customer that faced the bug did the major part of the debugging. As they are very advanced users, I am quite sure they are open to test a solution if we deliver them a test package. Is that enough - the customer testing the solution? -- Daniel

Here is a test build, I have tested on local machine, but feel free to do a test: https://brewweb.engineering.redhat.com/brew/taskinfo?taskID=12139772
Hi, This is the V2 build though I believe there are no difference for testing: https://brewweb.engineering.redhat.com/brew/taskinfo?taskID=12140195
Hi! Test package delivered to the customer. Now waiting on customer's feedback. Thanks!
Hi! The customer tested the package and said that it fixed the problem. Is there an ETA for the GA of this fix? Thank you very much for the agility in this case. -- Daniel
Hi, Once the patch being reviewed in kdump mail list, we can merge it and create a official build, hopefully it will be within one week or two. But the GA for customer depends on RHEL6.9 schedule.. Thanks Dave
