I've tested this on PowerNV, and linux-crashdump installs without error.
update-grub works as well. This must be specific to grub2 and PowerVM.

  --------- IT WILL STUCK HERE-----------

  I waited around 30 min but it will be stuck here only.
  To get the prompt(console) back we need to reboot the lpar. 

  After reboot i tried installing kdump package again and i saw this:

  root@highlp2:~# apt-get install linux-crashdump
  E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
  root@highlp2:~#

  I did "dpkg --configure -a" here and tried installing kdump package
  (linux-crashdump) and it says package is already installed.

  I checked kdump service here and it says kdump is active:

  root@highlp2:~# /etc/init.d/kdump-tools status
  ? kdump-tools.service - Kernel crash dump capture service
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/kdump-tools.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

  root@highlp2:~#

  
  I have tried installing another ubuntu15.04 lpar with cdrom as well but everytime kdump package installation will get stuck here and we need a reboot after this.

  
  Steps to recreate:

  1> Install ubuntu15.04 lpar
  2> login to lpar as root
  3> apt-get install linux-crashdump
