Comment 1 for bug 785425

The root cause for this issue is not related to kexec-tools, but is a makedumpfile issue.

The upstream version of makedumpfile that was introduced with 11.04 Natty now uses a dynamically linked makedumpfile and set aside the static version it its own separate package.

I will look to see if something can be done about that and will keep you posted. FYI, this also happens in Oneiric.
