When testing kdump-tools, take in mind that a reboot is needed after installing it. Otherwise, there is a chance that crashkernel memory space was not reserved by the kernel until a reboot is done. When doing that, this bug won't trigger, so it's also a workaround for this test. That is, reboot after installing kdump-tools, then trigger a crash.
