Christoph Paasch, thank you for providing the requested information. No need to further apport-collect unless requested specifically.
Despite this, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc3 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Package changed: linux (Ubuntu) => linux-meta (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1010854 Title: [HP EliteBook 8540p] linux-crashdump not producing coredump nor rebooting Status in “linux-meta” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Since Ubuntu Precise, linux-crashdump isn't working anymore for me. When I trigger a crash with: echo 'c' > /proc/sysrq-trigger the machine freezes. I see the disk-light blinking for a short time. But then, the host does not reboot automatically, and no dump-file is in /var/crash. With Oneiric everything worked as expected. --- AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
