# Kernel Version string for the -kdump kernel, such as 2.6.13-1544.FC5kdump
# If no version is specified, then the init script will try to find a
# kdump kernel with the same version number as the running kernel.

# The kdump commandline is the command line that needs to be passed off to
# the kdump kernel. This will likely match the contents of the grub kernel
# line. For example:
# KDUMP_COMMANDLINE="ro root=LABEL=/"
# Dracut depends on proper root= options, so please make sure that appropriate
# root= options are copied from /proc/cmdline. In general it is best to append
# command line options using "KDUMP_COMMANDLINE_APPEND=".

Disable transparent hugepages in second kernel Transparent hugepages are on by default. Disable it in kdump kernel by adding the parameter 'transparent_hugepage=never'. This might help us with some of the memory issues we are facing. From my test on two arch, not only there are no any bad effect on saving vmcore after turn off THP, but also we can get more 'MemAvailable:' in the kdump kernel. 1)x86_64 without the parameter ===================== kdump:/# cat /proc/cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64 root=/dev/mapper/rhel_ibm--x3250m4--01-root ro rd.lvm.lv=rhel_ibm-x3250m4-01/swap console=ttyS0,115200n8 rd.lvm.lv=rhel_ibm-x3250m4-01/root LANG=en_US.UTF-8 irqpoll nr_cpus=1 reset_devices cgroup_disable=memory mce=off numa=off udev.children-max=2 panic=10 rootflags=nofail acpi_no_memhotplug disable_cpu_apicid=0 elfcorehdr=869764K kdump:/# cat /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 145492 kB MemFree: 68284 kB MemAvailable: 111632 kB <<------ Buffers: 36 kB Cached: 48184 kB ... added the parameter ===================== kdump:/# cat /proc/cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64 root=/dev/mapper/rhel_ibm--x3250m4--01-root ro rd.lvm.lv=rhel_ibm-x3250m4-01/swap console=ttyS0,115200n8 rd.lvm.lv=rhel_ibm-x3250m4-01/root LANG=en_US.UTF-8 irqpoll nr_cpus=1 reset_devices cgroup_disable=memory mce=off numa=off udev.children-max=2 panic=10 rootflags=nofail acpi_no_memhotplug transparent_hugepage=never disable_cpu_apicid=0 elfcorehdr=869764K kdump:/# cat /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 145492 kB MemFree: 68388 kB MemAvailable: 111728 kB <<------- ...
