=Comment: #0================================================= Sripathi Kodi <sripathi.com> - 2008-03-20 04:18 EDT The version of crash shipped with RHEL5.1 seems to be incompatible with the RHEL MRG kernel (2.6.24.3-29.el5rt). When I open a kdump using this crash, I get a number of errors like the following: crash: invalid kernel virtual address: 805f8f00ffff8102 type: "fill_thread_info" crash: invalid task address: ffff81022e963974 crash: invalid task address: ffff81022e963a58 crash: invalid kernel virtual address: 0 type: "fill_thread_info" crash: invalid task address: ffff8100c41b7a68 crash: invalid task address: ffff8100c28e7978 The version of crash on RHEL5.1 is: [root@llm55 2008-03-13-23:06]# crash -v crash 4.0-4.6.1 I compiled crash from the latest sources available (crash 4.0-6.1) and that did not show this error. I also checked the version of crash available in RHEL5.2 beta and that too did not show these errors. The crash rpm I tried is crash-4.0-5.0.2.x86_64.rpm So it looks like newer versions of crash behave better with MRG kernel. Could you please put the new crash rpm on MRG repo?
