Created attachment 425809 [details] This fix worked for me, I don't know if it's the right way to do this but it worked. Description of problem: I followed 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 build it's initrd. 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.

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 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 No module raid5 found for kernel 2.6.33.5-124.fc13.i686.PAE, aborting. Failed to run mkdumprd Expected results: mkdumprd built the initrd and the "service" start as it's supposed to. Additional info: The problem is fixed I attached the file suggested by Mike T on Freenode. I've replaced my mkdumprd file with the attached one, and everything worked fine. **If you try to reproduce this you will have problem with the initscript look here for the temporary workaround: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=606584
You should try - kexec-tools-2.0.0-33.fc14 which should have the fix already - bug 597588.
Created attachment 428528 [details] patch to fix raid yup, the above is the patch that you need (which matches the full mkdumprd you provided).
I've actually got bz604055 that I'm using to pull everything in, so I'll just use that bug for this *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 604055 ***
