  • Fixes an issue where kdump failed when a crash is triggered after CPU hot removal (bsc#1133407)

  • Fixes an issue where kdump crashed after booting the OS (bsc#1021484, bsc#1080953)
  • Added ':force' as an option to KDUMP_NETCONFIG to force network setup in kdump. This is needed to configure fence_kdump (bsc#1108919)
