This will be the subject of an upcoming bug when I'm back from vacation, but I have been able to highlight a clear problem : when /boot is on a separate partition, which is done by default when LVM is used at install time, then crashdump will fail, since the /boot is empty.
A workaround is possible by doing the following : # umount /boot # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt # cp -pr /mnt/* /boot # mount /boot If not hit by the non-staticly linked issue of makedumpfile, the crash dump should work. I confirmed the issue on Lucid & Natty. I will post the bug number here as soon as it gets created. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/710733 Title: LKCD Not Executing kexec Properly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/710733/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
