------- Comment From hbath...@in.ibm.com 2017-08-18 13:50 EDT------- Noticed that the offset for crashkernel is set to 32MB in /etc/default/grub.d/kdump-tools..ppc64el file . Any specific reason why this value is chosen? With the default offset on powerpc being 128MB, this seems way off (considering there is only so much real memory available.) Can the offset (@32M) be stripped from /etc/default/grub.d/kdump-tools..ppc64el file to fall back to the kernel default..
