[ 0.000000] cannot allocate crashkernel (size:0x80000000)
[ 0.000000] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.18.0-25-generic root=UUID=ee8be10d-d649-425d-a807-640751836186 ro console=tty0 crashkernel=2G-4G:320M,4G-32G:512M,32G-64G:1024M,64G-128G:2048M,128G-:4096M
reserve memory is for RAM disk. root cause might be system cannot allocate enough memory for crash kernel.
Reduce allocate memory size will work
