systemd is not involved with crash dumping on kernel crashes. Please
contact your distro maintainers or the crash dumping maintainers for
help, we can't really help you there.

Sorry,

Hi,

Build primary kernel with enabling this config . Please read the
documentation for this config for your hardware.
CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x100
CONFIG_SYSFS=y
CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y

later you can check the running kernel config by  "*zcat* /*proc*/*config*.gz
> running.config" , grep this config

Regards,
Satya .

It is also using completely different kernel. What makes you think it
has anything to do with systemd?

Anyway, not willing to crash my desktop - the above works fine on
openSUSE Tumbleweed in QEMU.

[systemd-devel] kexec -p option does not cause a reboot on panic

2016-10-28 Thread Dey, Megha
Hi,

I was testing kexec on systemd (Ubuntu 16.04). Here are the steps I follow:


1.   Install a kexec aware kernel (all the configs needed for kexec are 
enabled)

2.   Give the following command after making sure we have set up crash 
memory: kexec -p --initrd= --reuse-cmdline 

3.   Check /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_loaded(it is 1)

4.   Generate a panic: echo c >/proc/sysrq-trigger

Even after waiting for a while, I see that no reboot is  happening. However, 
the kexec -e option works just fine.

Kexec -p works as expected on Ubuntu 14.04(which uses systemv)

Has anyone seen this issue before? Is there any additional step required that I 
may have missed? It would be great if I could get some pointers.

Thanks,
Megha
