Comment 11 for bug 609625

Hi,

while doing housekeeping-bug work (for a very old bugs like this even), I reviewed this bug and I found several things related to it:

- The issue about having a separating partition for /boot was fixed here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kexec-tools/+bug/828731

- Continuing to boot normally although makedumpfile assumptions are not satisfied was fixed here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kexec-tools/+bug/600051

Also, the mentioned script, 0_kdump, doesn't exist anymore as it was replaced in kexec-tools 1:2.0.4-1ubuntu1 (Trusty) by the use of the new kdump-tools package (that replaces makedumpfile in turn), as we can see in the changelog:

"exec-tools (1:2.0.4-1ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable (LP: #1271127), remaining changes:
    [...]
    - Implementation of kdump-tools is now completed so the following are
      removed :
        kdump init script and initramfs snippet
        Remove dependancy to initramfs-tools and makedumpfile
        Remove Depend on makedumpfile (on appropriate architectures)
    [...]

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. Since it seems to work nowadays and the package that handles this is now other (kdump-tools), I'll mark this bug as "Won't fix". Please, feel free to file a bug if you consider it's still present on a currently supported Ubuntu version, in the proper package.

Thank you for your time on this issue and we really appreciate your efforts to resolve it.
