Status in linux source package in Wily:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Issue description:
  Triggering a kernel panic will not produce a crash dump file.

  Steps to Reproduce:
  1. install kdump related packages.
  2. verify crashmem value - defaults to 384M-:129M
  3. verify that the system is ready for crash:
          # cat /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_loaded
          1
  4. trigger kernel panic with # echo c | sudo tee /proc/sysrq-trigger
  5. The system will freeze and no kernel dump will be generated, system is not rebooted automatically as configured in kdump-tools config.

  Versions details:
  Windows Server Host Edition: Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter build 9600
  Distribution name and release: Ubuntu Vivid Vervet
  Kernel version: Linux ubuntu31 3.19.0-11-generic #11lp14233432v201504021617 SMP

  Repro output with VM settings as follows:
  2GB RAM, 1vCPU, crashmem: 384M:128M OR 384M:128M
