File YaST2/y2log says

    Error updating initrd, see /var/log/YaST2/y2logmkinitrd or call mkdumprd 
    manually

but there is no such file in that attached archive. Please, attach it.

JFTR, kdump-1.0.2+git42.ge1e25ed-150500.1.2.x86_64.rpm has been installed together with yast2-kdump-4.6.1-150600.1.1.x86_64.rpm
Comment 4 Huajian Luo 2023-08-22 09:25:04 UTC 
Thank you for the findings, We'd hold this to see if it can be fixed in the next build while checking the yast2-kdump in the autoyast profile.
Comment 5 Michal Filka 2023-08-23 07:09:39 UTC 
I'm putting it into needinfo until requested additional info is available. Thanks
Comment 7 Stefan Hundhammer 2023-09-07 07:21:15 UTC 
This is still waiting for the requested information. See comment #3.
Comment 8 Huajian Luo 2023-09-08 03:02:30 UTC 
I just checked the latest build 19.1 and it still failed with the same error.
https://openqa.suse.de/tests/12036139#step/installation/12 thank you.

Comment 10 Stefan Hundhammer 2023-09-08 18:17:31 UTC 
If that file doesn't exist, then what do you expect us to do?
Comment 11 Stefan Hundhammer 2023-09-08 18:21:36 UTC 
https://openqa.suse.de/tests/12036139#step/installation/12 is the exact same error that refers to that exact same file /var/log/YaST2/y2logmkinitrd.

That only confirms that the problem is reproducable, but it doesn't get us one step nearer to the relevant information: WHY is that command 'mkdumprd' failing?

Does it work when you do the same thing manually in the same setup?
Comment 12 Stefan Hundhammer 2023-09-14 12:04:06 UTC 
So, did you try it manually?
Comment 13 Stefan Hundhammer 2023-09-18 09:27:50 UTC 
No more feedback.
Comment 14 Richard Fan 2023-09-20 03:43:03 UTC 
Based on the job setting in the latest openQA run result:

https://openqa.suse.de/tests/12119771#settings

"AUTOYAST:yam/autoyast/bug-887126_autoinst.xml"


I failed to find the file at `https://openqa.suse.de/tests/12119771/settings/yam/autoyast/bug-887126_autoinst.xml`

And from the uploaded autoyast file https://openqa.suse.de/tests/12119771/file/autoyast-bug-887126_autoinst.xml, I can see many settings are pointing to `sle12` rather than `sle15`.

Can you please double check the autoyast file at first and why openQA is using a "wrong" file there?

Close this bug now, and you can re-open it once you make sure the "right" autoyast file is used.
