Thus, kdump-config load fails as follows: # kdump-config load Cannot open `/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-27-generic': No such file or directory * failed to load kdump kernel This small patch (attached) fixes the issue. It defaults KDUMP_KERNEL to vmlinux if vmlinuz is not found. # cd /usr/sbin && patch -p1 < ~/kdump-config-vmlinux.patch patching file kdump-config # kdump-config load [...] * loaded kdump kernel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/makedumpfile/+bug/1324544/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
