When using linux-image-3.2.0-6-generic and testing kernel dump functionality, the kdump process fails. This is caused by the following test in /etc/init.d/kdump : KERNEL_IMAGE="/boot/vmlinuz-$KVER" INITRD="/boot/initrd.img-$KVER" VMCORE="/boot/vmcoreinfo-$KVER" # Without makedumpfile, there will be no vmcore on crash, so no point test -x /usr/bin/makedumpfile || exit 0 if [ ! -e "$VMCORE" -o ! -e "$KERNEL_IMAGE" -o ! -e "$INITRD" ]; then         exit 0; fi The /boot/vmcoreinfo⁻{kernel version} is not shipped with the linux-image-3.2.0-6-generic. [Test Case] While running a 12.04 Precise system, install the linux-crashdump package that will enable the kdump functionality. Reboot the server then, as root, issue the following : $ echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger Normally, the kernel dump should be created in /var/crash. Currently the kdump process fails silently and the system reboots. [Regression Potential] Upstream developer of makedumpfile which produces the vmcoreinfo file has confirmed that vmcoreinfo is no longer required (http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/2012-June/006381.html). vmcore generated with this patch have proven to be usable with the 'crash' tool.
