It seem sthat this problem arises fom changes to the mountpoint of the initramfs ...
The following patch adds a "compatability rbind mount":
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/11816/
Tested as follows:
1. Take an unmodified system
2. rbind mount /run/initramfs to /dev/.initramfs
3. cp /dev/.initramfs/live/vmlinuz /boot-kdump/vmlinuz-$(uname -r)
4. service kdump restart works
Testing the patch which does this is outstanding - but should work.
