It is possible to change the initramfs used for kexec relatively easy, see kdump.init.d in the source. We could therefore consider building an initrd with MODULES=dep, for my machine here that drops the initrd by 10MB compressed and nearly 30MB uncompressed:
$ zcat /boot/initrd.img-2.6.39-3-generic | wc -c 36718592 $ zcat /boot/initrd.img-2.6.39-3-generic.dep | wc -c 7216640 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/785394 Title: Hard-coded crashkernel=... memory reservation in /etc/grub.d/10_linux is insufficient -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
