Description of problem: The deployment guide at: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/14/html/Deployment_Guide/s1-kdump-crash.html says: yum install --enablerepo=rhel-debuginfo crash kernel-debuginfo which results in the following error: Error getting repository data for rhel-debuginfo, repository not found Dropping the --enablerepo argument says kernel-debuginfo isn't found. The package appears to be called kernel-debug now, but the files installed by the kernel-debuginfo package are not where the document says they should be. The document says to start crash with a command similar to the following: crash /var/crash/timestamp/vmcore /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/`uname -r`/vmlinux but the /usr/lib/debug directory does not exist.
So, more information is available in BZ 672874, but the mistake in the docs turns out to be that yum install --enablerepo=rhel-debuginfo crash kernel-debuginfo should be: yum install crash debuginfo-install kernel The debuginfo package creates /usr/lib/debug..., so the rest of the section of the deployment guide is correct. Many thanks to Dave Anderson for gently pointing this out to me.
Hi Dave, and thank you for reporting this. Fixed in the development version, commit b7a251af.
