Other options work fine.

-d 1
-d 2
-d 4
-d 8

In addition, the vmcore looks right, as crash utility could analyse it properly.

Comment 6 Neil Horman 2008-10-03 14:20:02 UTC 
Ok, this looks pretty straightforward.  Do me a favor, and confirm that  this works on x86, and I should be able to fix this pretty quick.  Thanks!
Comment 7 Qian Cai 2008-10-06 01:29:58 UTC 
Yes, it works on x86.

patch to add needed symbols to vmcoreinfo for ppc64

http://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/brew/taskinfo?taskID=1512328

The above is a ppc64 test kernel I'm building for this bug, including the above patch. it should add the needed symbols to vmcoreinfo to make makedumpfile work properly.

Note to self:  Looks like this is an upstream problem as well, and we will need to send this up.
Comment 11 Neil Horman 2008-10-08 18:34:14 UTC 
Cai, if you would please test the above and confirm it fixes the problem, I'd appreciate it.  Thanks!
Comment 12 Qian Cai 2008-10-09 06:46:08 UTC 
Yes, makedumpfile -d 16 works, and I could analyse the generated file without problem. Thanks! The only question is,

  +	SYMBOL(contig_page_data);

should this be "config_page_data"?
Comment 13 Neil Horman 2008-10-09 14:12:39 UTC 
Nope, the symbol is contig_page_data.  It tracks discontiguous memory use.  I'll post shortly.  Thanks!
Comment 14 Neil Horman 2008-10-09 15:15:17 UTC 
sent upstream to lkml & kexec lists.
Comment 16 Don Zickus 2008-10-29 16:18:32 UTC 
in kernel-2.6.18-121.el5
