+# kdump currently uses the host system's initrd when enrolling a crash kernel
+# and initrd. There is a limitation where the kdump initrd must be generated
+# with dracut in "host-only" mode.
+#
+# The -k option forces "host-only" initrd build for the specified kernel version.
+# The -q option suppresses verbose output
+#
+# If mkinitrd is called without <image> and <kernel-version> parameters, it will
+# default to invoking dracut in "host-mode" mode on every kernel version it can
+# find in /boot.
+#
+# If mkinitrd is called with <image> and <kernel-version> parameters, it will
+# default to invoking dracut in "generic host" mode to create an initrd.
+#
+# So in order to be compatible with kdump, we need to make sure to add the -k
+# option when invoking mkinitrd with an explicit <image> and <kernel version>
