Kdump isn't automatically tested in Fedora and while it can work, it
can often be broken as well. There might be someone on the kernel
list that is more familiar with the current state of kdump support in
Fedora, or alternative methods for getting the kernel backtrace.
I'm also interested in this, because I have a reproducible system crash but I can't capture the vmcore, the crash kernel only writes the dmesg.
