Just to clarifiy, the DUMP_HEADER_INCOMPLETED flag displayed above is incorrect when the "status" field gets translated in crash-5.1.8-3. That ancient version of crash was not aware of the change in bit-meaning of the status field used by the makedumpfile facility. A value of "1" means that the vmcore was compressed using libz: #define DUMP_DH_COMPRESSED_ZLIB 0x1 /* page is compressed with zlib */ #define DUMP_DH_COMPRESSED_LZO 0x2 /* page is compressed with lzo */ #define DUMP_DH_COMPRESSED_SNAPPY 0x4 /* page is compressed with snappy */ #define DUMP_DH_COMPRESSED_INCOMPLETE 0x8 /* dumpfile is incomplete */ #define DUMP_DH_EXCLUDED_VMEMMAP 0x10 /* unused vmemmap pages are excluded */ In any case, you have a legitimate RHEL7 vmcore, and as such, it fails as expected when trying to use a RHEL5 vmlinux file with it.
