Falei com um dos desenvolvedores do KDump e confirmei que esse é um bug conhecido. No momento, não posso fazer nenhuma alteração na produção, mas tenho uma ideia muito suspeita de que o kernel precisa ser atualizado e / ou algo entre a VM e a necessidade do Host da VM analisada.

The fact that the reboot doesn't reset the hardware is frankly scary. At this point any RHEL kernel is old and has not been updated by the many many bug fixes that have happened between when they branched off linus's tree and the present, and presumably comes with a support contract by people that are paid to help you, and understand those details, so I recommend you talk to the fine people at Red Hat. They should be able to help. Usually problems like this come down to driver issues of some sort, not issues in the actual kexec on panic infrastructure. Although in this case I would also suspect how the kdump kernel is calling reboot. Good luck to you, Eric
