+ Generate crash dump after being started by kexec.
|
|
|
+ This should be normally only set in special crash dump kernels
|
|
|
+ which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
|
|
|
+ a specially reserved region and then later executed after
|
|
|
+ a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
|
|
|
+ to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
|
|
|
+ PHYSICAL_START.
