The_screenshot_of_the_error_info_with_kdump

Description of problem:
When you trigger the kernel panic on the Hyper-V guest(RHEL5.9 with kernel2.6.18-339el5),the kdump will not capture the kernel error info,only with the error message on the screen:the crashkernel fail to probe teh driver and it reports: hv_storvsc: probe of vmbus_0_2 failed with error -110

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
version:
The Hyper-V:6.1.7600.16385
The Hyper-V guest:rhel5.9 kernel:2.6.18-339.el5(x86_64)

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a new virtual machine RHEL5u9 with kernel2.6.18-339el5 on Hyper-V,install the kexec-tools;

2.Set the target kernel with crashkernel setting below:
The setting target kernel with the option below(/etc/grub.conf,the crashkernel=128M@16M added):

3.reboot the guest,after reboot,then
#cat /proc/iomem | grep Crash\ kernel
with the similiar output "01000000-08ffffff : Crash kernel"to detect the crash kernel is working. and restart the kdump service with the command
#service kdump restart;

4.Trigger the kernel panic with the command below
#sync
#echo "1" > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
#echo "c" > /proc/sysrq-trigger
 
  
Actual results:

the kdump will not capture the kernel error info,only with the error message on the screen:the crashkernel fail to probe teh driver and it reports: hv_storvsc: probe of vmbus_0_2 failed with error -110,the screenshot has been attached


Expected results:

The kernel crash info will be stored into a location with the default path:/var/crash/`date`/.
