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.
The patch fixes the problem.
merged, next release
