You remember I tried #kdump on 32-bit #Arm? I think I know what needs to be done to make it work with EFI: kexec-tools should add a linux,usable-memory-range node to the DTB, and that's it. About to verify that…

Today, I looked at the state of #kdump for #riscv in @opensuse #tumbleweed. Still broken, but I have at least written down just what exactly is broken.

Read at your own peril.

So, one of my home servers crashed... again. The new power supply didn't help. Also, #kdump didn't dump anything, so it is useless in my case. I'm still hoping that the issue is not in the CPU or motherboard. I still have something to try among the most common server hang reasons.

Next is power management. Need to try to disable any power management settings in #BIOS. Wish me luck.

The #YaST-related ALP work group focus in on improving #Cockpit integration & documentation in the latest blog. #Bootloader and #Kdump YaST modules are also discussed in advancing #Containerized YaST. @opensuse https://yast.opensuse.org/blog/2022-08-02/yast-report-2022-6

Latest #YaST sprint addresses the Expert Partitioner and Multi-Device File Systems & #AutoYaST installs #kdump earlier to work on a minimal system. Plus much more - http://bit.ly/2OBc2AM @opensuse
