I followed the instructions here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_use_kdump_to_debug_kernel_crashes After booting with crashkernel=128M, starting the kdump service which is running: # kdumpctl status Kdump is operational I enabled sysrq: echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq Then at the console I hit: AltGr + PrtSc + c and the kernel does crash with a NULL pointer dereference as expected, but kdump never runs. The only thing I could do is hard-reboot. Nothing is written in /var/crash. (I also disabled SELinux for good measure, just in case that could be it, but it makes no difference.)
