kdump relies upon kexec but it is configured separately by kdump-tools. kexec works just fine with systemd. It is just the wording of configure message in kexec-tools package that is misleading and needs fixing. If you are not seeing kernel crash dump on panic, take a look at /etc/default/kdump-tools file and make sure it is configured correctly. -- Khalid
