Comment 1 for bug 1903122

Still exhibits this behavior (known issue):

Create VM on Azure using Canonical UbuntuServer 14.04.5-LTS latest using size Standard DS2 v2
Install kexec-tools kdump-tools makedumpfile, configure boot kernel parameter crashkernel=512M
Run sed -i 's/USE_KDUMP=0/USE_KDUMP=1/g' /etc/default/kdump-tools and sed -i 's/LOAD_KEXEC=true/LOAD_KEXEC=false/g' /etc/default/kexec
Reboot VM, make sure crash kernel memory reserved successfully
Trigger a crash by run echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq, then echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger, VM will reboot automatically and after reboot, check crash dump is generated under /var/crash
Install linux-azure kernel
Enable private-ppa canonical-kernel-esm
Install kernel linux-azure, reboot VM, kernel version 4.15.0-1084-azure
Trigger a crash by run echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq, then echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger, VM entered into a hung status.
