+NOTE: The memory sizes are only "recommended". It really depends on the amount
+of memory and number of CPUs/nodes of the system how much memory will be needed
+in the caputure kernel to boot the kdump system and to take the dump.
+Therefore, if the kdump capture system doesn't come up, try to increase the

+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
