== Comment: #0 - Hari Krishna Bathini <email address hidden> - 2018-01-30 10:46:53 ==
---Problem Description---
update makedumpfile to latest version v1.6.3 that officially supports
up to kernel version 4.14.8. Since makedumpfile is inherently backward compatible,
this would not break existing functionality..

Contact Information = <email address hidden>

---uname output---
na

Machine Type = na

---Debugger---
A debugger is not configured

---Steps to Reproduce---
 makedumpfile reports ""The kernel version is not supported" while generating vmcore
Also, there is a possibility of bogus address translations in makedumpfile tool with
missing upstream patches. Can't be so sure without an exhaustive testing. Instead,
it would be a good idea to go with the version which officially supports the kernel
version in question.

Userspace tool common name: makedumpfile

The userspace tool has the following bit modes: 64-bit

Userspace rpm: makedumpfile

Userspace tool obtained from project website: na

With kernel version updated to 4.13.0, please update makedumpfile tool
version to 1.6.3 which officially supports up to kernel version 4.14.8 [1].

Thanks
