Hi team

I am running the following

I have been attempting to install kdump etc.

It seems though that Debian's kexec-tools are too old for the pve kernel.

See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kexec-tools/+bug/1713940


There doesnt seem to be a backport, installing Buster's package may be the only option.

Has anyone else come across this?
