Title:
linux-crashdump functionality is broken
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
For the past few Ubuntu releases up to and including Oneiric, the
functionality ostensibly provided by installing the linux-crashdump
package is currently broken due to two significant bugs:
Bug #785394: Not enough memory reserved (if the system has < 2GB RAM)
for the crash kernel to boot
Bug #785425: kexec-tools places a dynamically-linked makedumpfile(8)
into the initrd, which then fails to run due to missing (shared)
library dependencies
Bug #SELF: Related to the previous bug, linux-crashdump depends on the
makedumpfile package instead of makedumpfile-static
Also refer to bug #710733.
