Problem opening core file.
by Rohit Persai
Greetings,
I am trying to open a core file but getting following error. I am sure
that I am using right kernel + kernel-debuginfo package. As following
command on crash log shows version on kernel in use.
# cat crash-log | grep -i 2.4.21
EIP is at check_pgt_cache [kernel] 0x19 (2.4.21-47.ELsmp)

# crash /usr/lib/debug/boot/vmlinux-2.4.21-47.ELsmp.debug
/boot/vmlinux-2.4.21-47.ELsmp case_1843132_vmcore
crash 4.0-6.3

Question: Why am I getting following message if I am using right set of
packages.
crash: /usr/lib/debug/boot/vmlinux-2.4.21-47.ELsmp.debug and
case_1843132_vmcore do not match!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
