Do not reset the computer because kdump always needs some time to com-
plete its task.
18.6.2 YaST Configuration
In order to configure kdump with YaST, you need to install the yast2-kdump
package. Then either start the Kernel Kdump module in the System category of YaST
Control Center, or enter yast2 kdump in the command line as root.
Figure18.1: YaST2 Kdump Module - Start-Up Page
In the Start-Up window, select Enable Kdump. The default value for kdump memory
is sufficient on most systems.
Click Dump Filtering in the left pane, and check what pages to include in the dump.
You do not need to include the following memory content to be able to debug kernel
problems:
• Pages filled with zero
• Cache pages
• User data pages
• Free pages
