I don't know how these things interact, so I don't know how big a deal the issue is.

And I don't know how we fix it with an update because it means stepping on everyone's /etc/kdump.conf - without a way of knowing if they want this or some other setting applied. > > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2243068 Detailed follow-up in the bug report, but for anyone following along here, I think this was caused by changes to the set of scripts in kexec-tools between F38 and F39 which have the effect that a crashkernel= arg will almost always get added whenever a kernel is installed, or kexec-tools is updated. Previously that was not the case. -- Adam Williamson (he/him/his) Fedora QA Fedora Chat: @adamwill:fedora.im | Mastodon: @adamw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx https://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
