Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Timothée Ravier 2021-06-14 16:47:55 UTC

Description of problem:

Starting with RHCOS 4.8, /boot is mounted RO and kdump should use another folder to store its temporary initrd.

A backport of https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/kexec-tools/c/75bdcb7399b6fe48032a8db534e18b01206601bc?branch=rawhide should fix this.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Latest kexec-tools from RHEL 8.5

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start kdump on an RHCOS node

Actual results:

Failure as /boot is not writtable

Expected results:

kdump initrd is stored in /var/lib/kdump
