---Problem Description---
getting the following kernel panic message while trying to dump the crash over local directory of ubuntu18.04.1.

This is a Regression BUG, as it worked fine in Ubuntu18.04 for local
dump.

configuration details are as follows,

Can we get the the following documented below *Crash Kernel recommendations* section
in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ppc64el/Recommendations

--
*Configuring Dump Capturing Support (KDump/FADump) on a system*

Since the memory required to boot capture Kernel is a moving target that depends
on many factors like hardware attached to the system, kernel and modules in use,
packages installed and services enabled, there is no one-size-fits-all. So,
please take the above recommendations with a pinch of salt and remember to try
capturing dump a few times to confirm that the system is configured successfully
with dump capturing support. Remember to retry dump capturing whenever:

    a) a kernel is updated
    b) new packages are installed
    c) new services are enabled
    d) boot/sysctl parameters are changed


Note that the above recommendation applies to both KDump and FADump
dump capturing mechanisms.

  Can we get the the following documented below *Crash Kernel recommendations* section
  in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ppc64el/Recommendations

  --
  *Configuring Dump Capturing Support (KDump/FADump) on a system*

  Since the memory required to boot capture Kernel is a moving target that depends
  on many factors like hardware attached to the system, kernel and modules in use,
  packages installed and services enabled, there is no one-size-fits-all. So,
  please take the above recommendations with a pinch of salt and remember to try
  capturing dump a few times to confirm that the system is configured successfully
  with dump capturing support. Remember to retry dump capturing whenever:

      a) a kernel is updated
      b) new packages are installed
      c) new services are enabled
      d) boot/sysctl parameters are changed

  
  Note that the above recommendation applies to both KDump and FADump
  dump capturing mechanisms.

  Thanks
  Hari
