This is reported by CKI:
https://datawarehouse.cki-project.org/kcidb/tests/11702842

The details can be found in test_console.log:

This issue has been fixed in kexec-tools-2.0.28-6.fc41.x86_64 which now depends on makedumpfile.

--- Additional comment from Coiby on 2024-03-18 02:49:27 UTC ---

And I can confirm this issue has been gone with Fedora-Rawhide-20240317.n.0.

Hi Coiby,

This is a different issue related to ppc64le makedumpfile filtering error, you are supposed to close below makedumpfile package issue:

Bug 2269640 - makedumpfile command not found when building kdump initramfs

So I reopen this bug.

Thanks
Baoquan

Add IBM power experts into this bz in case they happen to know the reason.

The below makedumpfile fix:

and crash-utility fix:
