现象

一般是升级内核后会出现这个问题，kdump 服务无法启动，系统启动时会报错。

See 'systemctl status kdump.service' for details

查看 kdump 服务，服务启动失败。

解决

1、系统无法启动

启动时，在 grub 节目按 e，进入grub修改启动项，然后启动。

# 默认值是 auto
crashkernel=auto

# 改为预定义值（predefined）， 128M、256M 或 512M
crashkernel=256M

2、系统可以启动

# 1）修改默认 grub 文件
vim /etc/default/grub

# 改为预定义值（predefined）， 128M、256M 或 512M
crashkernel=256M

# 2）重新生成启动 grub 文件，可以先看看原来文件在哪个目录，先备份再生成

# UEFI 启动
cp /boot/efi/EFI/centos/grub.cfg /boot/efi/EFI/centos/grub.cfg.bak
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/centos/grub.cfg

done

# 早期 Legacy 启动的使用下面命令
cp /boo/grub2/grub.cfg /boo/grub2/grub.cfg.bak
grub2-mkconfig -o /boo/grub2/grub.cfg

# 3）重启
reboot
