[sles-beta] strange values for crashkernel= after RC1 installation

[Martin Wilck]

We are seeing kdump failures (OOM killer in kdump environment) on
various systems. This seems to be due to strange values for crashkernel=

1 system with 32GB RAM:  crashkernel=182M-:91M
1 system with 96GB RAM:  crashkernel=192M-:96M

Whatever algorithm is used here, the outcome seems to be strange.
For a system with only 192M RAM, 91M crashkernel would be a *lot*. For
today's typical server it is too little.

Surely this can be fixed by hand-editing crashkernel=, but maybe SUSE
should check the algorithm for the default value once again.
