Re: [Crash-utility] crash fails with incompatible arguments on current kernel
----- Original Message -----
Hi,
crash seems to be a victim of the linux version number change. On a
live system it fails with:
WARNING: kernels compiled by different gcc versions:
/root/data/git.linux-2.6/vmlinux: (unknown)
live system kernel: 4.5.3
WARNING: kernel version inconsistency between vmlinux and live memory
crash: incompatible arguments:
/root/data/git.linux-2.6/vmlinux is not SMP -- live system is SMP
Thanks for catching that -- can you also please dump/attach the output
of "help -k" on that system?
Anyway, to avoid any false positives, I'll probably make the patch
check for "Linux version 2." or "Linux version 3."
Thanks,
Dave
as a workaround I've used:
