Re: [Crash-utility] Unable to switch stack frames while using crash

Hi Dave,
I updated the makedumpfile utility from 1.3.5 to 1.3.7 . When I run the
below command
makedumpfile -c -d 31 -x vmlinux_temp vmcore vmcore-new
The kernel version is not supported.
The created dumpfile may be incomplete.
check_release: Can't get the kernel version.
makedumpfile Failed.
I see that makedumpfile-1.3.8 was recently released, but it still
has a LATEST_VERSION of 2.6.36:
#define OLDEST_VERSION KERNEL_VERSION(2, 6, 15)/* linux-2.6.15 */
#define LATEST_VERSION KERNEL_VERSION(2, 6, 36)/* linux-2.6.36 */
You haven't stated what your kernel version is, but it seems makedumpfile
cannot get past this point. On the other hand, the compressed kdump was
created, so I'm not entirely clear.
Is there any other way to extract the ELF style vmcore file from the
kdump compressed format. Please guide me.
I don't believe so...
But I'm not the makedumpfile maintainer, so I'd prefer not to give any
definitive answers to your questions. I've cc'd the upstream maintainer
of makedumpfile.
Thanks,
Dave
