---Problem Description---
kdump-tools uses the wrong crashkernel command line parameter in ppc64le:
u1704le?? grep crashkernel /boot/grub/grub.cfg
linux /boot/vmlinux-4.10.0-13-generic
root=UUID=2d6f73c7-b463-4f02-9ec4-8d4afed0635d ro crashkernel=384M-:128M
128M of reserved memory is too small for ppc64le.
That happens because /etc/default/grub.d/kdump-tools.cfg links to the
wrong file:
u1704le?? ls -l /etc/default/grub.d/
total 8.0K
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Mar 24 13:34 kdump-tools.cfg ->
/etc/default/grub.d/kdump-tools.default
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 80 Jan 5 08:07 kdump-tools.default
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 137 Jan 5 08:07 kdump-tools..ppc64el
u1704le??
As can be seen, it should be pointing to kdump-tools..ppc64el but isn't.
Also, kdump-tools..ppc64el has two dots in it. That doesn't seem right.
Possibly just a cosmetic issue, but it would be nice if that was fixed.
