Somehow or another, I wasn't even aware that was there. I could have sworn I looked... But yeah, that stuff is a bit dated, and for some reason wants to split up i386 and x86_64, even though the process is identical for all platforms we ship FC for. Side note: ia64 already has relocatable kernel support (so no -kdump kernel needed), plus some ia64 memory alignment quirks make it a bit different... But we don't have a formal FC ia64 release anyhow. :) > > > I'll do it.

Before both the grub.conf and yaboot.conf examples, it says "with kexec options added". There are no options needed for kexec alone, the options are kdump-specific, so that should be "with kdump options added". Other than that, lookin' good.
