To resolve the issue, I want to know your environment.
Could you please tell me the following items ?

- The cpu architecture and the kernel version
  # please send me the output of 'uname -a'.

- The memory model (flatmem/discontigmem/sparsemem)
  # please send me the kernel config file (/boot/config-2.6.XX).

- The makedumpfile version
  # please send me the output of 'makedumpfile -v'.


The latest makedumpfile (version 1.2.5) supports the following kernels,
and you can get it from https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=178938.
