Name
crashkernel — Reserve a portion of physical memory for kexec to use.
Synopsis
crashkernel=

Description
The kexec subsystem likes to have a portion of physical memory
reserved for it. This option reserves that memory from the
rest of the kernel and will switch to use it if the kernel panics.
n
specifies the amount of memory to
reserve, and
start
specifies the location for this memory
chunk. Both are measured in units of kilobytes (K),
megabytes (M), or gigabytes
(G).
