Kdump service takes very long time to start and eventually gets hung
Issue
-
Upon starting the kdump service, it takes extremely long time to start and doesn't show any symptoms of its progress.
-
Kdump initrd is already built but still the service takes a long time to start.
-
This also happens during boot time eventually making the system too long to boot-up.
