+Extended crashkernel syntax
|
|
|
+===========================
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+While the "crashkernel=size[@offset]" syntax is sufficient for most
|
|
|
+configurations, sometimes it's handy to have the reserved memory dependent
|
|
|
+on the value of System RAM -- that's mostly for distributors that pre-setup
|
|
|
+the kernel command line to avoid a unbootable system after some memory has
|
|
|
+been removed from the machine.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The syntax is:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ crashkernel=<range1>:<size1>[,<range2>:<size2>,...][@offset]
|
|
|
+ range=start-[end]
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+For example:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ crashkernel=512M-2G:64M,2G-:128M
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This would mean:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ 1) if the RAM is smaller than 512M, then don't reserve anything
|
|
|
+ (this is the "rescue" case)
|
|
|
+ 2) if the RAM size is between 512M and 2G, then reserve 64M
|
|
|
+ 3) if the RAM size is larger than 2G, then reserve 128M
|
|
|
