Hi Dann, Thanks for the comments.
VM has 4G, bumping the craskkernel size 256 still fails, but moving up to 512M allows this to work, but the equivalent kernel in jammy works with 192M... Thoughts? And you're quite right, once the dump works, I see bug 1970672 [ 3.684815] kdump-tools[487]: Starting kdump-tools: [ 3.685258] kdump-tools[493]: * running makedumpfile -c -d 31 /proc/vmcore /var/crash/202212211756/dump-incomplete Copying data : [100.0 %] \ eta: 0s [ 5.850607] kdump-tools[510]: The kernel version is not supported.
