Regarding the vmcore-dmesg failed, it's likely you are hitting this issue:

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/2012-July/006602.html

Can you try to download an compile the latest kexec tools from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/kernel/kexec/kexec-tools.git

Also what's the content of your /etc/kdump.conf file?
