2014-10-01 16:50:26 Chris J Arges summary kdump-config load fails with vmlinux kernel (vs. vmlinuz) makedumpfile: kdump-config load fails with vmlinux kernel (vs. vmlinuz)
2014-10-01 20:13:29 Chris J Arges description On ppc64el, there's no vmlinu/z/, only vmlinu/x/. Thus, kdump-config load fails as follows: # kdump-config load Cannot open `/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-27-generic': No such file or directory * failed to load kdump kernel This small patch (attached) fixes the issue. It defaults KDUMP_KERNEL to vmlinux if vmlinuz is not found. # cd /usr/sbin && patch -p1 < ~/kdump-config-vmlinux.patch patching file kdump-config # kdump-config load [...] * loaded kdump kernel SRU Justification: [Impact] Users of ppc64el hardware need the ability to use crashdumps to do kernel debugging. [Test Case] 1) apt-get install kdump-tools 2) kdump-config load 3) this should pass but fails because it expects vmlinuz [Regression Potential] This fix allows the existing case to work, but only checks for vmlinux if vmlinuz is missing. -- On ppc64el, there's no vmlinu/z/, only vmlinu/x/. Thus, kdump-config load fails as follows: # kdump-config load Cannot open `/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-27-generic': No such file or directory  * failed to load kdump kernel This small patch (attached) fixes the issue. It defaults KDUMP_KERNEL to vmlinux if vmlinuz is not found. # cd /usr/sbin && patch -p1 < ~/kdump-config-vmlinux.patch patching file kdump-config # kdump-config load [...]  * loaded kdump kernel
