> And although the RHEL5 version of the crash utility by definition is for > support of RHEL5 kernels, since the introduction of KVM for RHEL5, it > is very possible that there may be RHEL6 guest dumpfiles taken with > "virsh dump" on a RHEL5 KVM host, and those dumpfiles are physically > located on the RHEL5 KVM host machine. Therefore a much more recent > crash version that the very old 4.1.2 base would be required.
