<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have a couple errors that also happened on 1.2.6 and I
wondered if anyone might have a suggestion why.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The one thing I know might be strange about my system is
that my first kernel (the one that panics) is compiled with CONFIG_VMSPLIT_1G,
meaning that it is set to have 3GB of kernel space and 1GB of user space. I
believe this does things to CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET, but the depth of my kernel
knowledge is not so great.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal># makedumpfile -E -d 31 -i /boot/vmcoreinfo vmcore
dumpoutput2<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>check_release: /boot/vmcoreinfo and vmcore don't match.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>makedumpfile Failed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The release numbers of the vmcore and vmcoreinfo files
should be identical. This happens if I specify anything greater than “–d
1”.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I tried a quick addition to the printf to include the values
that generate the above error. It looks like “system_utsname.release”
is NULL coming into the strcmp on line 340 of makedumpfile.c . Unfortunately I
don’t know enough about the kernel to go further than this.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Additionally (potentially a separate issue), on an identical
piece of hardware, but with 4GB of memory instead of 2GB, using “-d 1”,
I get the following error:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Excluding zero
pages
: [ 38 %] readmem: Can't seek the dump memory(/proc/vmcore). Invalid argument<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>create_2nd_bitmap: Can't exclude pages filled with
zerocreate_2nd_bitmap: for creating an ELF dumpfile.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>makedumpfile Failed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I can cp the file just fine and it loads up in crash, but I
can’t seem to use makedumpfile to trim the vmcore down at all on this
system with more memory.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any suggestions? Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p>
