Insufficient memory to configure kdump


Hello guys,

I am trying to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Desktop. During the last step of configuration, called kdump I get the following message "Insufficient memory to configure kdump".

The OS recommends me to reboot my system, but nothing happens. The same screen appears again along with the same problem.

I suspect my hardware is not that kind of valid or what ?
CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K SandyBridge
Mobo: ASUS P8H67-I Deluxe ITX
RAM: SO-DIMM Corsair 2x2GB
GPU: Ingrated inside processor
PSU: 850W Corsair

Should I try an external graphics card instead of using the integrated one ?

It shouldn't be a problem: you don't need to configure kdump or have it enabled for everything else to work. If you are selecting to enable kdump and that error is fatal (ie you can't continue) then you must have about 128MB RAM.

Another graphics card would have nothing to do with kdump though it may give back a tiny bit of RAM.

Why do you think it is a problem? What is this message preventing you from doing?

It asks me to reboot the system. Then system boots and same message appears again (reboot the system). Thus I can't login. It keeps asking me to reboot in order to fix this kdump problem.

Hello,

Thank you for your help.

When I try to install Scientific Linux 6.1 Desktop, I also face the same issue at Kdump before Finish.
I igore it and system can boot normally. Until now, no problem found.
I search the error information from some websites and they said it should be the memeory lower than 4G. My laptop has 2G memeory.
But your memory is 4G. So maybe it is not the key matter.
