Public bug reported: While testing linux-azure 4.15.0-1032 kernel from proposed we found that kdump is no longer working as expected, on trusty only.
Here are some info and versions. We'll have to verify a few more scenarios with other images and try to isolate this, but as least the kdump on trusty issue is there. Also remains to be checked in which release this regression was introduced. The below can be repro'd on Azure. On Xenial it works with ubuntu provided latest kexec-tools 2.0.16. It looks like the kexec might require some patches from upstream as far as I can tell from the data we have so far.
