This is a good suggestion Rich! I've looped Dann and Cascardo, both maintainers of kdump-tools to also discuss this subject.

We could have a more explicit message when installing the package, maybe in the same screen that asks if we want to enable kdump by default. I'm against the idea of _not_ setting the default crashkernel though - good suggestion for intermediate/advanced users, bad suggestion for beginners I think. Also, I must say: my experience was pretty reciprocal to yours. The default always worked for me in regular/simple HW or VMs, it fails in more peculiar setups, like 200 PCI devices, 1 TiB of RAM, etc.

Thanks for bringing-up the discussion =)
