So while trying to make thinks work as well (without having noticed the bug being open) I took the 1.4.3 version in quantal as a starting point (as that was the latest in debian). The following patch (against makedumpfile) makes at least the vmcoreinfo generation work again in Precise for me. Maybe we want to push that forward even without it being necessary.
Though I still have problems with kexec'ing in general (which maybe needs to become its own bug) as it seems no new kernel gets started even when using kexec in the simplest form to boot via shutdown. ** Patch added: "0001-Generic-search-into-anonymous-members-in-search_memb.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/kexec-tools/+bug/988512/+attachment/3214747/+files/0001-Generic-search-into-anonymous-members-in-search_memb.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/988512 Title: Missing /boot/vmcoreinfo-{version} file is breaking kdump To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kexec-tools/+bug/988512/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
