I have found no way to add an optional channel via the web interface of SUMA 2.1. I needed to add Debuginfo-Pool for Kdump analysis which use crash. Crash utility is used to analyze the core file captured by kdump. It can also be used to analyze the core files created by other dump utilities like netdump, diskdump, xendump. You need to ensure the “kernel-debuginfo” package is present and it is at the same level as the kernel. So, I had to use a command line of SUMA.
