Hi Chris, The following bug added fadump supported in 15.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1415562 It says fadump support is added in makedumpfile version 1:1.5.7-5. While ubuntu 15.10 currently has makedumpfile version 1:1.5.8-3, fadump support patch seems missing here. > > Do you have a normal use case on how to use fadump? This will help in > reproducing this on this end.
