This is now fixed in Debian. It would be nice to sync it to Bionic. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to makedumpfile in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1751328
Title: kdump-tools won't create initrd for previously installed kernels Status in makedumpfile package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When kdump-tools is installed, it creates an initrd for the running kernel. For kernels installed after that, the postinst part will be run and a initrd will be created as well. However, for kernels that are already installed, it won't create them. As an example, when the user is running 4.4.0-112-generic, but has 4.13.0-32-generic installed, kdump-tools will create an initrd for 4.4.0-112-generic. When the user later reboots into 4.13.0-32-generic, the initrd is not present, and kdump-tools won't load. Cascardo.
