Yes, that was the problem, now I am getting a new error, I do not care for crash dump, but when I execute kexec -e it ask me to reserve some space for it and use kdump kernel, which is not the case I am interested: # ./kexec -e -append="root/dev/sdb2" Memory for crashkernel is not reserved Please reserve memory by passing "crashkernel=X at Y" parameter to the kernel Then try loading kdump kernel ???
