It "just worked" after the upgrade. I didn't do any cleanup before the upgrade to restore the system to a pristine state between the initial installation of crashdump and the upgrade to 10.04, but I don't think I really did anything but install the package. -- You received this bug notification b

@ Rhomboid, did you have to change any configuration files to get crashdump to work in 10.04, other than following the steps outlined on the page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/CrashdumpRecipe -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed

Update: Upgrading to 10.04 seems to have fixed crash dumps, in that I now get a core file and a .crash file gets made. Still working on the actual crash but now I have something to work with. -- linux-crashdump fails to record crash; reports memory not reserved https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/321

It was a while ago, and I didn't have time to finish looking at this, but IIRC last I checked, the code in question seemed to make some assumptions about the way the system was partitioned --- I think it assumed everything was all in one big / partition. Is your VM partitioned that way, but yo

I have 10 machines on dual core-i7 (amd64) with 16G RAM running 9.10. They're randomly rebooting after months of stability with absolutely no messages in the logs so I've assumed I've got a kernel panic and installed linux-crashdump.

Doesn’t work for me on Lucid amd64. I have 2 GiB of memory, and I have crashkernel=384M-2G:64M,2G-:128M in /proc/cmdline, but the kernel detects that I have ever-so-slightly less than 2 GiB of memory, and therefore gives me a 64 MiB crashkernel: [0.00] Reserving 64MB of memory at 32MB for

It may be obvious to some, but I should probably be more explicit in pointing out that the test process I describe above triggers a dirty shutdown, and can cause data loss if run on a system that contains valuable data. Please run it on a test system where you don't mind possibly losing data. (Of

I don't have time right now, but if someone want to see if this bug still exists on Lucid, I think these are the steps: 1. apt-get install linux-crashdump 2. reboot 3. echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger # triggers a kernel panic 4. Wait a bit for the system to collect the crash dump The expected resul

Hi Leigh, This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid. If it remains an issue

As more information regarding this, if you do as Nathaniel says above and use the latest kexec-tools package with the "1...@16m" syntax, you can get past the "Command line overflow" problem and load the crash kernel, but you may find that when invoking the crash kernel you get a kernel OOPs in m

Fwiw, if I rebuild the kexec-tools package using the latest source in jaunty (2009-2.0.0ubuntu3), kexec will get past the "Command line overflow" problem and load the crash kernel, but the "crashkernel=384M- 2G:6...@16m,2G-:1...@16m" cmdline syntax still fails. It almost looks like the intent

I'm seeing this too (also on intrepid; clean amd64 install in my cause, though). If I modify my grub config and change "crashkernel=384M- 2G:6...@16m,2G-:1...@16m" to "crashkernel=...@16m", kexec no longer errors out with "please reserve memory ...". I'm not familiar with that more complex crashk
