Ok, I just took an laptop (lenovo T61, yes it is old) and installed F19 and tried kdump (echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger) in following 3 configurations. - Save to local disk (root, unencrypted). - Save to a usb flash driver (4GB, ext4 file system) - Save dump over ssh All 3 worked for me. Display does get reset but that happens very late and we don't see any of the kernel messages. I see just dracut and kdump messages. If USB did not work for you, you can try passing rd.debug on command line (edit /etc/sysconfig/kdump) and also set "default shell" in /etc/kdump.conf. So after failing to save dump, you should be put in a shell. You can look around for usb device. Also debug outupt should tell us where we are.
