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.

Package : linux-image-3.2.0-6-generic
Release : Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
