Do you guys need a vmcore? I'm working on getting one from AWS.

Title:
  Ubuntu 15.10 Crashing Frequently on EC2 Instances w/ Enhanced
  Networking

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Lots of details and history of the problem here:
  https://askubuntu.com/questions/710747/after-upgrading-
  to-15-10-from-15-04-ec2-webservers-have-become-very-unstable

  10 of my webservers have started crashing immediately following the
  15.10 upgrade. As far as what exactly defines a "crash", Instance
  Status Checks fail, and I can no longer SSH to the machine. Background
  daemons running on the system stop responding, and nothing is written
  to the logs.

  After weeks of working with the AWS team, I finally fixed a netconsole
  issue via "echo 7 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk" and got netconsole
  working properly, and finally have a trace:

  I don't have a vmcore at the moment, but I'm trying to get one from
  AWS and should have one in the next couple of days. This is happening
  frequently and repeatedly since I first upgraded to 15.10 on early
  December.
