[LTP] Kdump update required

[LTP] Kdump update required

[Vladut Magas]

Hello,

I am writing to you about the kdump. I am trying to run kdump on Debian 9 (Stretch), but the "setup.sh" has a small error as you can see below, based on the error received:

  CC      /root/Desktop/ltp/testcases/kdump/lib/lkdtm/lkdtm.mod.o
  LD [M]  /root/Desktop/ltp/testcases/kdump/lib/lkdtm/lkdtm.ko

In DEbian 9 there is no grubby tool and no way to install it, so the /sbin/grubby will never be found and the error will always occur. Is there something I can do about this problem?

Thank you!

Best regards,

This tells you to modify the bootloader command line by hand.

This is a harmless error caused by the fact that debian uses dash as a
default shell.
