Description Qian Cai 2010-06-13 04:07:20 UTC
Description of problem:
Starting netdump daemon on RHEL3.9 guest with virtio NIC under RHEL6 host, giving errors,

# service  netdump restart
initializing netdump netlog: eth0's network driver does not implement netlogging yet, aborting.
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
      You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
