With respect to the Red Hat kdump facility, I thought we had decided to unconditionally enforce the 64-bit ELF format, but I see that in the current kexec-ktools package that the /etc/sysconfig/kdump file still contains this: ... # Any additional kexec arguments required. In most situations, this should # be left empty # # Example: # KEXEC_ARGS="--elf32-core-headers" KEXEC_ARGS=" --args-linux" ... And the kexec-tools code still has support for --elf32-core-headers.
