Public bug reported: Binary package hint: kexec-tools
Upon installing kexec-tools, the needed 'crashkernel' kernel argument isn't added to the GRUB configuration, until a kernel is installed/removed. Likewise, when being uninstalled, the argument isn't removed until a kernel is installed/removed. # apt-get install kexec-tools [snip] Setting up kexec-tools (20090000-2.0.0ubuntu5) ... # grep crashkernel /boot/grub/menu.lst # update-grub [snip] # grep crashkernel /boot/grub/menu.lst kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30-6-generic root=UUID=57c44c83-15f6-44df-ae3f-1638c8673e69 ro quiet splash crashkernel=384M-2G:6...@16m,2G-:1...@16m When a developer wants to capture particular kernel state (eg oops/panic etc), this may step in the way. ** Affects: kexec-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- kexec-tools fails to configure installed kernel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/382134 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
