Comment 2 Huajian Luo 2023-09-22 02:51:07 UTC

And as @Jose Iván Lopez's kindly suggested, the issue was gone with root as the first partition. https://openqa.suse.de/tests/12219080

Comment 3 Huajian Luo 2023-09-22 02:52:56 UTC

Now the workable Workaround is to set root as the first partition and swap as the second one in this scenario.

Comment 4 Jiri Bohac 2023-09-25 08:35:26 UTC

Kdump in SP6 has received a major upgrade in the past weeks and this code is completely gone. Please retry with a new SP6 snapshot once kdump-1.9.6 or newer is included.

I'll close this as WONTFIX, since there is no point debugging this code that has become obsolete.

Thanks!
