Hello,
I have finished setting up kdump and kexec today, recompiling my kernel
to add everything needed in there.
I have triggered a kernel panic by echo c>/proc/sysrq-trigger, and found
that the vmcore dump was indeed there after all was done.
However I can not get any traces out of that crash dump(short version,
long version at the end of the email):
crash /usr/src/linux-2.6.35.3/vmlinux vmcore.201008231930
[...]
crash: read error: kernel virtual address: c148a9a0 type:
"kernel_config_data"
WARNING: cannot read kernel_config_data
crash: read error: kernel virtual address: c1487e28 type:
"cpu_possible_mask"
If I try crash --minimal things do load but I'm stuck with the minimal
error set that's not very helpful.
All I'm looking at is getting a full trace of the kernel panic.
- Paul-Kenji Cahier
PS, the full version:
crash -d7 /usr/src/linux-2.6.35.3/vmlinux vmcore.201008231930
crash 5.0.6
