Hi Lekshmi

I am not really convinced it is the same configuration looking at the output of
blkid command on the system this was tried (see attachment). The root disk in
this case does not seem to be multipath based. Also, the fix package mentioned
by Breno or Cascardo doesn't seem to have been used for this validation.
Could you please try this on the same system the issue was initially reported,
with package at ppa:louis/kdump-tools-multipath. Alternatively, I would be happy
to validate, if you can provide access to the system where the issue was
initially reported.

Hello Canonical/Cascardo,

The issue was not seen on one of our system with kdump-tools verison 
1:1.6.0-2ubuntu1.2.
Not sure if the has the fix. Neither I am sure the failure was seen on this 
system to start with.
Our test team will try to setup the failed configuration to validate this 
again..

Thanks
Hari

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  When the target device where to dump the kernel is under a multipath 
configuration, dumping will fail, possibly leaving the system stuck in the 
kdump kernel.
  The fix is to include some scsi device handlers needed for the multipath 
setup inside the initramfs image that is used by kdump.
  All modules currently loaded in the system are included.

  [Test Case]
  Setting up kdump to target a multipath device using an appropriate storage 
that requires such scsi_dh modules and triggering a crash will demonstrate that 
kdump fails.
  After the fix, it works fine.

  [Regression Potential]
  If a bug is introduced, loading kdump might fail, and a crash will not be 
generated. A worse regression that might be considered is the system is stuck 
in such a kdump kernel and needs to be rebooted locally (and the crash file is 
not generated either). But since this is what we are trying to fix, we don't 
expect other systems to break. This didn't happen on a small (less than 1GiB of 
RAM) x86 VM, though.

  Problem  Description
  ==========================
  On talclp1, I enabled kdump. But kdump failed and it drop to BusyBox.

  Gave up waiting for root device.  Common problems:
   - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
     - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
     - Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
   - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)

  The blkid output does not show any device with 
UUID=853769e5-1dc5-41be-a689-b430320d207f
  which is the root device used in the kexec command line (from kdump-config 
show)
  kexec command:
    /sbin/kexec -p --command-line="BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinux-4.8.0-15-generic

  Hence the kdump kernel is failing to boot here.

  Hi Vaishnavi,

  Necessary hardware handler modules are missing in the kdump initrd.
  Here is the console log of kdump kernel that says the same:

  --
  Begin: Loading multipath hardware handlers ... Failure: failed to load module 
scsi_dh_alua.
  Failure: failed to load module scsi_dh_rdac.
  Failure: failed to load module scsi_dh_emc.
  --

  Including this modules explicitly and rebuilding initrd for kdump, able to 
get to a point
  where makedumpfile starts to capture dump but fails with:

      "get_mem_map: Can't distinguish the memory type."

  which is already tracked with bug 146571

  Thanks
  Hari

  PS1: To explicitly add modules to kdump initrd

        1. List the necessary modules in /var/lib/kdump/initramfs-tools/modules 
file
        2. mkinitramfs -d /var/lib/kdump/initramfs-tools -o 
/var/lib/kdump/initrd.img-$kver
        3. systemctl restart kdump-tools.service

  Mirroring this bug to Canonical for their inputs if to include the
  missing hardware modules to the kdump initrd or to proceed with the
  workaround.
