Proposed patch
Neil suggested to remove "rev" from the tuple, so could try this patch?
Thanks!
Ok, I will give it a try. -- steve Have not yet tried the patch, but wanted to report what I've found so far. When I attempted to apply the patch, it gave me some offsets (-3 and -14 lines), and there remained one instance of the "vendor" "model" "rev" "type" tuple in the mkdumprd script. I was expecting the patch to go in clean, if my mkdumprd script was the same as Neil's before applying the patch, so I began to suspect maybe I was on a beta release of RHEL6, but I double checked on another RHEL6 system which I just installed yesterday and found the same thing. So, I'm thinking maybe Neil's patch is vs. a newer variant of the mkdumprd script than what RHEL6 shipped with? Should I still try it? I suspect that third instance of "rev" needs to be removed too. -- steve Created attachment 475422 [details]
Patch to /sbin/mkdumprd script from RHEL6 to make it ignore drive firmware revisions
So I took the liberty of making my own patch against the mkdumprd script which, to the best of my knowledge, is the one which actually ships with RHEL6, and tested it, flashing to 3.50 firmware on the P410i, then rebuilding the kdump initrd with the patched mkdumprd script, then flashing the firmware to 3.66, rebooting, and trying kdump without rebuilding the kdump initrd, and it seem to work.
