which is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kexec- tools/+bug/1658733 whose summary reads: "Ubuntu 16.04.2KVM:kdump fails to mount root file system when noirqdistrib is missing as dump kernel parameter " > I would rather prefer no offset though (letting the kernel to decide on the > default offset) Hari, I think we should be opening a separate bugzilla-bug for this since it is a different issue.

Can we have the fix applied to 17.04 as well (more so because that was the original milestone for this bug)?
