Bug description:
SRU Justification:
[Impact]
Users of ppc64el hardware need the ability to use crashdumps to do kernel
debugging.
[Test Case]
1) apt-get install kdump-tools
2) kdump-config load
3) this should pass but fails because it expects vmlinuz
[Regression Potential]
This fix allows the existing case to work, but only checks for vmlinux if
vmlinuz is missing.
--
On ppc64el, there's no vmlinu/z/, only vmlinu/x/.
Thus, kdump-config load fails as follows:
# kdump-config load
Cannot open `/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-27-generic': No such file or directory
* failed to load kdump kernel
This small patch (attached) fixes the issue.
It defaults KDUMP_KERNEL to vmlinux if vmlinuz is not found.
# cd /usr/sbin && patch -p1 < ~/kdump-config-vmlinux.patch
patching file kdump-config
# kdump-config load
[...]
* loaded kdump kernel
