Description of problem:

I recently been getting a frequent freeze when I use my machine - the Core i3 one at:

«
 My primary machine is a desktop machine with a:

    An Intel Core i3 CPU (x86-64).
    8 GB of RAM.
    Intel Corporation Sandy Bridge Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
    A 2 TB hard-disk.
    A 21â³ Wide LCD Screen by LG.
    Intel Corporation Cougar Point High Definition Audio Controller.
    Intel Corporation 82579V Gigabit Network Connection.

So I've looked at kexec/kdump, but I'm having a problem reserving memory, see:

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt

But when booting with âcrashkernel=128M@16Mâ I am getting âcrashkernel reservation failed - memory is in use.â and kexec refuses to load the kernel. Yak Shaving.

How can this problem be fixed?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Cauldron

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot the kernel with crashkernel=...
2. use âjournalctl -bâ as root.
3.

Mass-reassigning all bugs with "kernel" in the Source RPM field that are assigned to tmb, to the kernel packagers group, because tmb is currently MIA.

As this bug was filed against a Mageia 6 kernel..closing as OLD.

Feel free to reopen if still valid with recent kernels under a supported Mageia version.
