Subject: [PATCH 1/1 v1] the recommended crash memory reservation is too small for x86_64.
Date: Mon, 25 Mar 2013 18:56:49 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1364209009-11592-1-git-send-email-zhouzhouyi@gmail.com> (raw)

From: root <root@zzy-Lenovo.(none)>


 On Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt, section Boot into  System Kernel: On x86 and x86_64, use
 "crashkernel=64M@16M", but some OSes like ubuntu 12.10 use ram fs larger than 64M, so in these cases the
 memory reserved for crashkernel should be at least 128M.
