++NOTE: The memory sizes are only "recommended". It really depends on the amount

++memory size. Powers of two (2^n) are *not* necessary but the "natural" choice
++for memory sizes.

+ After setting the boot loader option, activate the Kdump init script, which is
+ not activated by default. To do this, use the YaST System Services (Runlevel)
+ module. Alternately, enable the service on the command line with the following
