Hi Akemi,

We have a remote unit that has been crashing and I wanted to collect the dump. We can't use the latest
kernel because it breaks multicasting with gres. We use OSPF over multiple gre tunnels and the
.358 kernel is the latest one that works correctly.

I have tested the crash setup and it seems to work ok without having the kernel-dump rpm installed so
it doesn't seem to be absolutely necessary. Maybe only if you have a limited amount of memory.

Regards,
