saved. The default is "/var/log/dump". See also KDUMP_DUMPDEV if you
don't want to save the dump at first on a raw device which helps if your
root file system is corrupted.
- KDUMP_DUMPDEV
Specifies the dump device that is used for saving the dump in the kdump
kernel. You don't need to specify a dump device here. Then the dump is
written to KDUMP_SAVEDIR when booting from the kdump kernel.
If KDUMP_DUMPDEV points to a device file, the dump is written to that
device when booting from the kdump kernel. The advantage over is that
you don't have to mount the root file system (which may be corrupted!)
just to write the dump. On the first normal boot which is able to
succesfully mount the root file system, the dump is saved to
KDUMP_SAVEDIR as usual.
Important: The KDUMP_DUMPDEV is overwritten by kdump, so don't use it
for saving any data. Also don't use the currently used swap partition.

build a debug-info kernel from source by specifying the
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO kernel parameter.
Even if you install kernel-debuginfo, you need to uncompress the kernel
image first. This depends on the architecture on which your system is
running. If you don't know, just run "uname -i" to get the architecture.
On i586, i686 and x86_64, s390 and s390x, you have to unpack the kernel
image:
$ gunzip /boot/vmlinux-<version>.gz
On IA64, the default kernel image is already a gzip'ed vmlinux image.
Run
$ zcat /boot/vmlinuz-<version> > /boot/vmlinux-<version>
On PPC and PPC64, you don't have do to anything as there the bootloader
already loads the vmlinux image.
The symbol information in the debug-info kernel may differ from the
running kernel, therefor; when running crash against a vmcore you
should specify both the System.map file and the debug-info kernel.
