[Bug 1010854] Re: [HP EliteBook 8540p] linux-crashdump not producing coredump nor rebooting

 

I finally found the commit who causes the bug:

commit 3c607d27c818cf4a5d28f2c73b18a88f8fbdfa33
Author: Don Fry <donald.h.fry@xxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Fri Sep 30 11:40:20 2011 -0700

    iwlagn: rename iwlagn module iwlwifi and alias to iwlagn.
    
    Rename the iwlagn module as iwlwifi in preparation for future
    changes.  Add an alias to iwlagn for backward compatibility.

Looks really strange to me, that this one is causing the bug.

Title:
  [HP EliteBook 8540p] linux-crashdump not producing coredump nor
  rebooting

Status in “linux-meta” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Since Ubuntu Precise, linux-crashdump isn't working anymore for me. When I trigger a crash with:
  echo 'c' > /proc/sysrq-trigger

  the machine freezes. I see the disk-light blinking for a short time.
  But then, the host does not reboot automatically, and no dump-file is
  in /var/crash. With Oneiric everything worked as expected.
