  • Using crash utility usage - cannot find booted kernel error (vmlinux)

    Posted on

    I'd like to make an analysis   in RH 5.5 for created vmcore file .

     

    According to some docs  two kernel packages are required - kernel-debuginfo-version.arch.rpm and

    kernel-debuginfo-common-version.arch.rpm
    .

     

     

    I have these ones :

     

    # yum list | grep debug



    kernel-debug.x86_64                    2.6.18-194.el5        installed
    kernel-debug-devel.x86_64              2.6.18-194.el5        installed

     

     

     

    Neither kernel-debug-common-* is not available .

     

    I assume that due to this fact  I do not have /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/ directory with vmlinix in order to proceed with vmcore  analysis .

     

    # crash

    ........

     

    crash: cannot find booted kernel -- please enter namelist argument

     

    Please advise .

     

     

    /Vlad .
