Why doesn't the kdump service start while running kernel-xen kernel?
Issue
After I configure kdump, I try to start the services but get the following error:
# service kdump start
No kdump kernel image found. [WARNING]
Tried to locate /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-164.el5
Starting kdump: [FAILED]
And I am using a xen kernel:
# uname -r
2.6.18-164.el5xen
- Found following error messages in system log(Used kernel 2.6.18-274.12.1.el5xen) :
Dec 24 07:11:43 hostname kdump: Cannot open `/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-274.12.1.el5PAE': stream error
Dec 24 07:11:43 hostname kdump: kexec: failed to load kdump kernel
Dec 24 07:11:43 hostname kdump: failed to start up
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, with xen kernel installed
