Title:
kexec-tools 2.0.14 fails to load 4.12+ crash kernels
Status in kexec-tools package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
Starting with 4.12 kernels, kexec-tools cannot load a crash kernel
because ELF core parsing fails with errors like:
Unknown type (Reserved) while parsing /sys/firmware/memmap/5/type.
Please report this as bug. Using RANGE_RESERVED now.
...
ELF core (kcore) parse failed
Cannot load /var/lib/kdump/vmlinuz
The issue is fixed upstream in kexec-tools 2.0.15 (Debian is still at
2.0.14)
The complete changes list between 2.0.14 and 2.0.15 shows mostly bug
fixes and in fact all additional patches in debian/patches which are
Ubuntu delta, have moved into upstream 2.0.15. So we could drop all
those while moving to the new version.
