This bug was fixed in the package makedumpfile - 1:1.5.9-5ubuntu0.4
---------------
makedumpfile (1:1.5.9-5ubuntu0.4) xenial; urgency=medium
* d/p/0006-PATCH-Support-newer-kernels.patch :
Support kernel versions up to 4.8 (LP: #1557751)
* Turn hardcoded timeo and retrans NFS options into parameters that
can be modified in /etc/default/kdump-tools. Also use the NFS defaults
(timeo=600, retrans=3) for these parameters. Make those values visible
in the 'show' command if NFS is configured (LP: #1641235)
* Complete support for kernel versions 4.8 and later :
d/p/0007-PATCH-Looking-for-page.compound_order-compound_dtor-.patch,
d/p/0008-PATCH-Skip-examining-compound-tail-pages.patch (LP: #1655625)

Bug description:
== Comment: #7 - Vaishnavi Bhat - 2016-03-15 06:16:53 ==
The following warning is generated by makedumpfile
* running makedumpfile --dump-dmesg /proc/vmcore
/mnt/201602030129/dmesg.201602030129
The kernel version is not supported.
The created dumpfile may be incomplete.
The makedumpfile version on your machine is
# makedumpfile -v
makedumpfile: version 1.5.5 (released on 18 Dec 2013)
I did a #sudo apt-get source makedumpfile and checked for the sources.
In the makedumpfile.h , the LATEST_VERSION is set to
#define OLDEST_VERSION KERNEL_VERSION(2, 6, 15)/* linux-2.6.15 */
#define LATEST_VERSION KERNEL_VERSION(4, 1, 0)/* linux-4.1.0 */
where as kernel version on the machine is
# uname -r
4.2.0-27-generic
Hence we see this mismatch and message as "The kernel version is not
supported."
We need canonical to change the value of LATEST_VERSION so that we do
not see this message.
