Does Fedora supports kdump ? (especially F8)
Straight of out the release notes ( http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f8/en_US/sn-Kernel.html ):
<< x86 Kernel Includes Kdump
Both the x86_64 and the i686 kernels are now relocatable, so they no longer require a separate kernel for kdump capability. PPC64 still requires a separate kdump kernel. >>
So I guess that's a yes, with even less installing than before. Note I haven't actually used this capability myself, so I'm not sure what else is involved.
