Hello, Version 1.6.1 of makedumpfile was announced upstream a bit more than one week ago (27.12.16). As of this morning, it was not even packaged for Debian.
I happen to be the debian maintainer for makedumpfile. I uploaded 1.6.1-1 minutes ago to Debian unstable. I will sync to Zesty in the following days. So a version for the 4.8 kernel will be available in Zesty shortly. Regarding 16.04, the Stable Release Update procedure forbids uploads of major releases as SRU. So makedumpfile 1.6.1 will not be released to Xenial and Yakkety. But 4.8 kernel specific issues have already been addressed in LP: #1626269. Once makedumpfile 1.6.1 becomes available in Zesty, I will investigate the possibility of disabling the "kernel not supported" message for the 1.6.0 versions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1654068 Title: Ubuntu 16.04.02: Error message "kernel version is not supported" is logged during fadump, dump capture will be successful.
