Looking further this memory problem is already tracked in bug #785394, untouched for almost two years now.
So this bug here should serve as a reminder that the official documentation (https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/kernel-crash- dump.html) is wrong. It should at least contain links to the bugs affecting linux-crashdump, like https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/CrashdumpRecipe#Release_specific_notes does, because when just following the documentation the crashdump functionality just does not work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1235616 Title: linux-crashdump doesn't actually dump and reboot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kexec-tools/+bug/1235616/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
