Louis - the upstream for makedumpfile seems to behind the curve. The last commit before version 1.4.3 was released is:

    [PATCH] Support newer kernels.

    A new makedumpfile supports newer kernels.
    Now, I tested on specific kernel configuration as:

      - 2.6.37 to 3.0 (x86 FLATMEM)
      - 2.6.37 to 3.0 (x86_64 SPARSEMEM)
      - 3.2 (PPC32 FLATMEM)

    I will support more kernels on x86 in next version.

Perhaps he'll eventually add support for 3.2 kernels. Keep a watch on git://makedumpfile.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/makedumpfile/makedumpfile
