help
A robust mechanism to get reliable kernel crash dump with
assistance from firmware. This approach does not use kexec,
- instead firmware assists in booting the kdump kernel
+ instead firmware assists in booting the capture kernel
while preserving memory contents. Firmware-assisted dump
is meant to be a kdump replacement offering robustness and
speed not possible without system firmware assistance.
