Hi,

does /var/crash or kdump target directory as mentioned in

One thing i forgot to mention is in my root there is not configuration file
/etc/sysconfig/kdump or
/etc/kdump.conf, is this anything to do with this and not even /var/crash, i
got the latest kexec-tool
source from the git and build it.

i almost left my system for an hour, but it was in the same hang state.

Where else can be the configuration file other then /etc/sysconfig/kdump or
/etc/kdump.conf.
