Netdump is not supported in this kernel version; note that Patch1501 and Patch1502 have been disabled: # Netdump and Diskdump bits. Patch1500: linux-2.6.10-crashdump-common.patch Patch1501: linux-2.6.10-netdump.patch Patch1502: linux-2.6.8-netconsole.patch Patch1503: linux-2.6.10-diskdump.patch # netdump bits %patch1500 -p1 # Netdump is broken right now. It applies, but not with -F1. Its h0rked. Leave it off. #%patch1501 -p1 #%patch1502 -p1 %patch1503 -p1 An updated patch set has been forwarded to the kernel maintainer for inclusion in a subsequent kernel update. This bug has been CLOSED NEXTRELEASE for two years (reported on FC4), but the problem still exists on FC5 (bug #201436, which is probably a duplicate of this bug), FC6, and even the current rawhide kernel kernel-2.6.21-1.3189.fc7.x86_64.rpm still does not have a netdump.o module. Dave, which "NEXTRELEASE" did you mean? Please reopen this bug for FC6, or at least be fair and change it to CLOSED WONTFIX. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050524 Fedora/1.0.4-4 Firefox/1.0.4 Description of problem: netdump doesn't start. I get always the error message -------------------- # /etc/init.d/netdump start initializing netdump FATAL: Module netdump not found. [FAILED] initializing netconsole FATAL: Error inserting netconsole (/lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4/kernel/drivers/net/netconsole.ko): Invalid argument [FAILED] -------------------- So it can't find the module netdump and can't load the module netconsole. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): netdump-0.7.7-6 kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Edit /etc/sysconfig/netdump and add the NETDUMPADDR= 2. Then start netdump with "service netdump start" Additional info:
