vmcore not getting created on linux-4.7

I've been trying to get crash dumps working on linux-4.7 and haven't succeeded.
The kdump kernel boots up and appears to be chugging along and then just reboots
and never creates the vmcore, and fails to create the vmcore-dmesg.txt, though
I've never seen that working on my nodes. Below is the tail of the boot.

Any ideas?
