After getting around a few kdump kernel panic/hang, i finally was able to complete a kdump vmcore with 2.6.27-rc5. The system under testing was an IA64 with 128 cpu and 256G memory A4700 system. The /proc/vmcore is: a4700rac:/boot # ll /proc/vmcore -r 1 root root 263006257684 2008-09-10

Hi Jay, Thank you for testing and the report. It is good that a new makedumpfile shrinks its running time. But does it create a unreadable dumpfile ? OK, I want to reproduce/investigate the problem. Could you please send me your .config file ? I have not tested makedumpfile on IA64

Hi Jay, Sorry for one more request. Jay Lan wrote: Hmmm, the reason it is only almost there was that crash failed to analyze the output of makedumpfile. :( Crash was happy with the vmcore saved with 'cp' command. a4700rac:/var/tmp/jlan # crash -d 1 /boot/vmlinux-2.6.27-rc5-default
