First of all, doing ponytail on a 3 year old bug is not going to bring you much attention.
Especially since this bug pertains to a mechanism that is now only used on Precise. It is unfortunate though that the server guide is misleading on how to configure kernel dump. I would suggest to open a bug against the server guide to have this fixed. This page does a pretty good job at documenting how to generate a kernel crash dump : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/CrashdumpRecipe TL;DR : Once the linux-crashdump package has been installed & the server rebooted you need to change the following in /etc/default/kdump-tools : USE_KDUMP=1 Then : $ sudo kdump-config load For any other visiting this bug, please refrain from adding to it, it is no longer relevant as the kernel dump mechanism has changed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/828731 Title: kdump functionality not working as expected when /boot is a separate partition To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kexec-tools/+bug/828731/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
