Hello Vratislav, I also tested this on RHEL 7.3 and didn't get the error. Is there some updates in anaconda recently which may cause this issue? Regards, Tong

Hello, RHEL 7.3 Anaconda is using Python 2.7, whereas Fedora 24+ (or even 23+, not sure) Anaconda is using Python 3 (3.5 now). And the traceback definitely looks like a thing related to Python 3 which differentiates between strings and bytes (byte arrays) strictly. Looks to me like the kdump addon is not properly ported to Python 3.
