[Bug 1708409] Re: kdump service does not start after configure/reboot

Tue Nov 28 18:54:29 UTC 2017

It seems this has been reverted on systemd 235. However, as this might
come to bite us back again in the future (it was mentioned that
dependencies should not be added to aliases), and as Steve has pointed
out, it makes more sense to use multi-user.target, I am going to fix it
in a future release to come soon.

  kdump service does not start after configure/reboot

  --Problem Description---
  kdump service does not start after configure/reboot. It has to be started/loaded manually, everytime after reboot.

  # kdump-config status
  current state   : Not ready to kdump

  ---uname output---
  Linux ltc-test-ci2 4.11.0-10-generic #15-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 29 15:02:54 UTC 2017 ppc64le ppc64le ppc64le GNU/Linux 

  Machine Type/Model = Power 8/8247-22L 

  ----Additional Info-----
  # cat /proc/cmdline
  root=UUID=974df602-c0e4-4e67-8853-78ad15884c59 ro console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 quiet splash cgroup_enable=memory swapaccount=1 crashkernel=2G-4G:320M,4G-32G:512M,32G-64G:1024M,64G-128G:2048M,128G-:4096M

  ---Steps to Reproduce---
  1. installed linux-crashdump
  2. edited the kdump-tools.cfg crashkernel cmdline to above
  3. update-grub
  4. reboot

  Expected:
  kdump-config to be loaded by default after reboot

  # kdump-config status
  current state   : Not ready to kdump

  # service kdump-tools status
  * kdump-tools.service - Kernel crash dump capture service
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/kdump-tools.service; enabled; vendor pres
