Re: [Crash-utility] How to open 32 bit dom0 kdump....

Thanks Dave, I had tried another combination: 32 bit Xen kernel with 32 bit Dom0 kernel, but I have the similar issue. The vmcore file is still in 64 bit format. (Our system has a large memory configuration 8GB-192GB), Is there any way I can generate elf32 vmcore file ?

Thanks.

Hmmm -- now that I think about it, it's seems that the crash utility has never supported dom0 vmcores generated from this type of Xen hypervisor/dom0 combination. Red Hat kernel versions come with the xen.gz and vmlinuz files packaged together, i.e., both 64-bit or both 32-bit: # rpm -qpl kernel-xen-2.6.18-219.el5.x86_64.rpm /boot/.vmlinuz-2.6.18-219.el5xen.hmac /boot/System.map-2.6.18-219.el5xen /boot/config-2.6.18-219.el5xen /boot/symvers-2.6.18-219.el5xen.gz /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-219.el5xen /boot/xen-syms-2.6.18-219.el5 /boot/xen.gz-2.6.18-219.el5 <= 64-bit ... # rpm -qpl kernel-xen-2.6.18-219.el5.i686.rpm /boot/.vmlinuz-2.6.18-219.el5xen.hmac /boot/System.map-2.6.18-219.el5xen /boot/config-2.6.18-219.el5xen /boot/symvers-2.6.18-219.el5xen.gz /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-219.el5xen /boot/xen-syms-2.6.18-219.el5 /boot/xen.gz-2.6.18-219.el5 <= 32-bit ... So, it's highly unlikely that either internally to Red Hat, or any of our customers, would ever run such a combination. And I don't recall ever working with the crash utility to support it. I'm curious whether anybody on this list has ever done this? After all these years of Xen existence, you would think that somebody else would have bumped into this anomoly before...
