Details

Description:

by default the linux package is not configured to generate crash dump file when a kernel panic occurs,

because the "CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP" is not set in config.x86_64 file,

it's a pity because the others distros like ubuntu have the package for generating a crash dump :

https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/kernel-crash-dump.html

it would be great if an archlinux package could provide this feature ( a kernel with CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP set to yes )


Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

This is a duplicate of  FS#16895 , but since that's 5 years old, I'm not just closing this out of hand. The maintainers can do that if they want.
