Description of problem:
I folowed the howto here (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Kernel/kdump) on how to activate kdump to diagnose kernel panic. When I rebooted I found out that kdump service was unable to start. here's the output.
No kdump initial ramdisk found.                            [WARNING]
Rebuilding /boot/initrd-2.6.33.5-124.fc13.i686.PAEkdump.img

No module raid5 found for kernel 2.6.33.5-124.fc13.i686.PAE, aborting.
Failed to run mkdumprd

I talked with some folks on freenode wich lead me to add this code coming from RHEL to /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions :

# find the working name for a running dm device with the same table as one
# that dmraid would create
resolve_dm_name() {
(
    name="$1"

    line=$(/sbin/dmraid -ay -t --ignorelocking | \
        egrep -iv "no block devices found|No RAID disks" | \
        awk -F ':' "{ if (\$1 ~ /^$name$/) { print \$2; }}")
    for x in $line ; do
        if [[ "$x" =~ "^/dev/" ]] ; then
            majmin=$(get_numeric_dev dec $x)
            line=$(echo "$line" | sed -e "s,$x\( \|$\),$majmin\1,g")
        fi
    done
    line=$(echo "$line" | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' -e 's/[ \t]*$//' \
               -e 's/ core [12] [[:digit:]]\+ / core [12] [[:digit:]]\\+ /')
    /sbin/dmsetup table | \
        sed -n -e "s/.*\(no block devices found\|No devices found\).*//" \
               -e "s/\(^[^:]\+\): $line\( \+$\|$\)/\1/p"
) 2>/dev/null
}

This doesn't fix my kdump problem, but it seems to fix the /sbin/mkdumprd: line 786: resolve_dm_name: command not found.


I don't know exactly where I can report bug to kdump, but there's definitly something missing for kdump to work with raid5 on Fedora13.

How reproducible:
You probably need to have a Raid5 on your computer.
Follow the procedure to install and enable kdump (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Kernel/kdump) reboot and try to start the kdump service.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a Fedora 13 with raid5 something like I pasted before
2. yum install --enablerepo=fedora-debuginfo --enablerepo=updates-debuginfo kexec-tools crash kernel-debuginfo
3. add crashkernel=128M to the kernel line in /etc/grub.conf
4. Reboot
5. Try to start the kdump service, look at the output.
  
Actual results:
No kdump initial ramdisk found.                            [WARNING]
Rebuilding /boot/initrd-2.6.33.5-124.fc13.i686.PAEkdump.img

Expected results:
Don't know exactly but I should probably work, this is a fresh install.
