Re: [Crash-utility] How does crash find booted kernel?
Hi Buland,
Firstly, thanks for your comments!
Executing the following commands:
[root@localhost ktap]# uname -r
3.10.0-123.el7.x86_64.debug
[root@localhost ktap]# rpm -q kernel-debuginfo
kernel-debuginfo-3.10.0-123.el7.x86_64
[root@localhost ktap]# rpm -q kernel
kernel-3.10.0-123.el7.x86_64
It seems all the versions are match. So I think it is not this issue, thanks!
Best Regards
Nan Xiao

Hi Nan,
You need to make sure that the version of kernel-debuginfo package must
match with the version of running kernel.
Eg:
# rpm -q kernel
kernel-3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64
# uname -r
3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64
# rpm -q kernel-debuginfo
package kernel-debuginfo is not installed
# rpm -ivh kernel-debuginfo-common-x86_64-3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64.rpm
