== Comment: #7 - Vaishnavi Bhat  - 2016-03-15 06:16:53 ==
The following warning is generated by makedumpfile 
* running makedumpfile --dump-dmesg /proc/vmcore /mnt/201602030129/dmesg.201602030129
The kernel version is not supported.
The created dumpfile may be incomplete.

The makedumpfile version on your machine is 
# makedumpfile -v
makedumpfile: version 1.5.5 (released on 18 Dec 2013)

I did a #sudo apt-get source makedumpfile and checked for the sources. 
In the makedumpfile.h ,  the LATEST_VERSION is set to
#define OLDEST_VERSION          KERNEL_VERSION(2, 6, 15)/* linux-2.6.15 */
#define LATEST_VERSION          KERNEL_VERSION(4, 1, 0)/* linux-4.1.0 */
where as kernel version on the machine is 
# uname -r
4.2.0-27-generic

Hence we see this mismatch and message as "The kernel version is not
supported."

We need canonical to change the value of LATEST_VERSION  so that we do
not see this message.
