Fixed In Version: kernel-2.6.32-71.3.1.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
The kernel panicked when booting the kdump kernel on a s390 system with an initramfs that contained an odd number of bytes. With this update, an initramfs with sufficient padding such that it contains an even number of bytes is generated, thus, the kernel no longer panics.
