Re: crashkernel only allowing smaller allocations as kernel version increases

OK, after looking through some code, it looks like the behavior was change (back?) to only allocating under 896M with commit 55a20ee7804ab64ac90bcdd4e2868a42829e2784. In order to allocate more RAM than that, you have to specify crashkernel=1024M,high which reserves some RAM in low memory and the re
