Sadly the cases in which it doesn't work, tend to be very sensitive to the conditions in which its setup (i.e. a standard network interface scp works, an scp of a core over a bridge that has a bond as the selected output interface, not so much). Its also pretty dependent on hardware. x86_64 usualy can be made to work, while ppc64 is just completely borked). Anywho, as mentioned dracut will help with alot of this, if we can get that config system done. What will help more than anything else is testing and bug reporting. Theres way to much stuff for me to test myself, so if anyone has a need for kdump, please use it, otherwise its just going to keep hobbling along as best it can.
