@Chris -- with the changes in bug #1317697 applied we would expect these to work at least technically. Could you confirm whether it does and if not whether widening the crashkernel reservation works or not. Please report any testing back here.

Issues: 1. The vmcore/crash file is not generated under /var/crash as configured in the kdump config. 2. The VM will hang and not reboot. Default action to take in case of a failure is to reboot - again as set in kdump config. Repro rate: 100% VM settings: tests ran with 1 CPU core or 4 cores. Negociated VMBus is 3.0, which has been integrated since 14.04 so this should work as no other patches are needed. (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1317697) I'm also attaching the serial console output of both cases - single core and SMP. root@ubuntu:~# kdump-config load efi memory descriptor version 0 is not supported! * loaded kdump kernel root@ubuntu:~# cat /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_loaded 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1359980/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
