Hi Louis, Thanks for detailing that out. > > But 4.8 kernel specific issues have already been addressed in LP: #1626269. > Once makedumpfile 1.6.1 becomes available in Zesty, I will investigate the > possibility of disabling the "kernel not supported" message for the 1.6.0 > versions. That will help.
