Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 6 Baoquan He 2014-04-15 13:22:06 UTC
The reservation of crashkernel in 1st kernel failed, I will debug the code by adding some printk info to see what happened.

Comment 7 Baoquan He 2014-04-21 02:15:52 UTC
I tried to reserve beaker machine, the log shows reserved address can not be satisfied because it has been used.
"crashkernel reservation failed - memory is in use"

From code, this could happen if you can't make sure the specified reserve address is not used for other usage earlier. So please use crashkernel=YM without "@XM", this will be helpful.

I would like to close this bug as NOTABUG, please feel free to reopen it if anyone has different thought.

Thanks
Baoquan

Comment 8 Baoquan He 2014-04-21 07:07:38 UTC
OK, I was mistaken. Paul reported this bug is about the kdump kernel can't startup successfully. I will try reserving without "@xxx", then try again.

So reopen it.

Comment 9 Baoquan He 2014-04-24 02:00:51 UTC
Didn't reproduce on 2.6.32-431.el6, I would like to close it as NOTABUG. Please free free to reopen it if any concern.

Thanks
Baoquan
