This is an anaconda addon for configuring kdump. To use, copy the
|
||
|
|
com_redhat_kdump directory into /usr/share/anaconda/addons on your
|
||
|
|
installation media.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The syntax of the addon's kickstart section is:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
%addon com_redhat_kdump (--enable|--disable) --reserve-mb=("auto"|<amount>)
|
||
|
|
%end
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that support for arguments on the %addon line was added in
|
||
|
|
anaconda-21.23. See anaconda commit 3a512e4f9e15977f0ce2d0bbe39e841b881398f3,

How to test the kdump-anaconda-addon?
|
||
|
|
You can provide an updates image in the kernel boot arguments as updates=,
|
||
|
|
and the contents will be added to the stage2 filesystem.
|
||
|
|
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Updates has more details, but usually
|
||
|
|
the easiest is to make it available via HTTP or FTP and provide a url to updates=.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The file is a gzip-compressed cpio archive, and the files need to be put into
|
||
|
|
stage2 in /usr/share/anaconda/addons, so something like this will work to create
|
||
|
|
an updates.img:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
mkdir -p updates/usr/share/anaconda/addons
|
||
|
|
cp -r com_redhat_kdump updates/usr/share/anaconda/addons/
|
||
|
|
( cd updates; find . | cpio -oc | gzip -c9 ) > updates.img
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
then you can upload the updates.img to some http or ftp server so the anaconda
|
||
|
|
can get it by boot parameter as updates=http://some.website.com/path/to/updates.img.
