To summarize all previous activity on this bug for easier tracking, I've re-done now a check on this bug and here are the details:
Hyper-V: Server 2012 R2 VM: Ubuntu 15.04 Kernel: 3.19.0-15 Default crashkernel value: 384M-:128M Also verified with crashkernel=384M@384M Status: kdump-tools is marked as active but displays "Could not find a free area of memory of 0x9f000 bytes..." /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_loaded is 0 /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size shows the correct assigned crashkernel value from grub. Trigerring a kernel panic doesn't do anything given these details. On 15.04 the latest kexec-tools package version is 2.0.7-5ubuntu2 What I've done was to take the version present in Wily - kexec-tools_2.0.9-1ubuntu1_i386 and installed it on 15.04. kdump-tools is loading now without the error above, and also kexec_crash_loaded is at 1 now. Trigerring the panic now, the VM will not reboot nor write the vmcore dump file. I'm checking now to see that for the problem where the VM doesn't reboot on panic if that is not due to some missing vmbus kdump patches that have been implemented before. But at least for the error of "Could not find a free area of memory of 0x9f000 bytes...", that seems to be due to the kexec-tools. Joe can you please have a look at that or assign it to the right contact that is handling that part for some analysis? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to kexec-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1400319 Title: [Hyper-V] Kernel panic not functional on 32bit Ubuntu 14.10 and 15.04 Status in kexec-tools package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in kexec-tools source package in Utopic: Invalid Status in kexec-tools source package in Vivid: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Vivid: Confirmed Bug description: While testing the final build of 14.10 32bit we found that kernel panic cannot be activated for an installation on a Hyper-V VM.
