  kdump service does not start after configure/reboot

  --Problem Description---
  kdump service does not start after configure/reboot. It has to be started/loaded manually, everytime after reboot.

  # kdump-config status
  current state   : Not ready to kdump

  ---uname output---
  Linux ltc-test-ci2 4.11.0-10-generic #15-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 29 15:02:54 UTC 2017 ppc64le ppc64le ppc64le GNU/Linux 

  Machine Type/Model = Power 8/8247-22L 

  ----Additional Info-----
  # cat /proc/cmdline
  root=UUID=974df602-c0e4-4e67-8853-78ad15884c59 ro console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 quiet splash cgroup_enable=memory swapaccount=1 crashkernel=2G-4G:320M,4G-32G:512M,32G-64G:1024M,64G-128G:2048M,128G-:4096M

  ---Steps to Reproduce---
  1. installed linux-crashdump
  2. edited the kdump-tools.cfg crashkernel cmdline to above
  3. update-grub

  # kdump-config status
  current state   : Not ready to kdump

  # service kdump-tools status
  * kdump-tools.service - Kernel crash dump capture service
