Installing a new kernel from a kernel build tree with "make install" generates this warning: grep: warning: stray \ before / After some digging, I found that it comes from this line in /usr/bin/kdumpctl: _grubby_kernel_str=$(grubby --info ALL | grep -E "^kernel=.*$_release(\/\w+)?\"$") where grep is warning that it should perhaps be (removing \ before /): _grubby_kernel_str=$(grubby --info ALL | grep -E "^kernel=.*$_release(/\w+)?\"$") That does eliminates the warning. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Build kernel from source tree 2. make install 3. Actual Results: Generates a warning, but the install works as expected (modulo some other fixed packages). Expected Results: No warnings.
This has been fixed in https://github.com/rhkdump/kdump-utils/commit/97b3b962a956b16ea21424c7d24630c657a59845, thanks for reporting this bug!
