Needed for oops reporting on machines which are configured to immediately kexec+kdum on oops.
Setting up for kdump: yum install --enablerepo=rhel-debuginfo crash kernel-debuginfo kexec-tools add "crashkernel=128M" to kernel command line (say, via system-config-kdump -> "Apply"). Reboot. Crash the machine: service kdump status || exit $? sync echo 1 >/proc/sys/kernel/sysrq echo c >/proc/sysrq-trigger Observe new file /var/crash/127.0.0.1-2010-08-25-08:45:02/vmcore Run crash /var/crash/$DT/vmcore /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/$VER/vmlinux and run "log" command
Corresponding ticket: https://engineering.redhat.com/trac/abrt/ticket/9
With crash-5.1.7-1, $VER can be determined from the vmcore: VER=`crash --osrelease vmcore` yum install --enablerepo=*debuginfo* /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/$VER/vmlinux or yum install --enablerepo=*debuginfo* kernel-debuginfo-$VER then echo "log" | crash -s vmcore /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/$VER/vmlinux
