Description Jan Kratochvil 2011-09-19 08:05:21 UTC 
Description of problem:
It gives warning, it is probably false as makedumpfile seems to work OK.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kexec-tools-2.0.0-41.fc14
kexec-tools-2.0.2-29.fc17

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
makedumpfile -c kernel-2.6.35.14-95.fc14.x86_64.vmcore foo

Actual results:
The kernel version is not supported.
The created dumpfile may be incomplete.
Copying data                       : [100 %] 
The dumpfile is saved to kernel-2.6.35.14-95.fc14.x86_64.vmcore.dumpfile-c.
makedumpfile Completed.

Expected results:
Copying data                       : [100 %] 
The dumpfile is saved to kernel-2.6.35.14-95.fc14.x86_64.vmcore.dumpfile-c.
makedumpfile Completed.

Additional info:
./makedumpfile-1.3.5/makedumpfile.h:452:
#define LATEST_VERSION		KERNEL_VERSION(2, 6, 32)/* linux-2.6.32 */
Comment 1 Américo Wang 2012-02-10 08:48:08 UTC 
Upstream has the same problem, so we need to wait for upstream, and then push the fix into Fedora 17, unlikely in Fedora 14.
