[Joseph Salisbury <joseph.salisbury@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I made some changes to the backports and have a new V3 test kernel to
try.  The test kernel  can be downloaded from:

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1440103/vivid

Can you test this kernel and see if it resolves this bug?

Also, can you confirm that Wily with the latest updates does not exhibit
this bug anymore?

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.
