Hello,

running kdump in Dom0 always ends with status “failed”

Loading kdump  
Regenerating kdump initrd …  
Could not find a free area of memory of a000 bytes…  
locate\_hole failed  
failed

According to the Xen Guide I have moved the “crashkernel” option in the kernel line of the boot options

…  
kernel /xen.gz vga=mode-0x317 dom0\_mem=2048M crashkernel=64M  
…

Where is my mistake?

Configure kernel core dump capture:
