Version 5 servers now use kexec with a kdump facility mechanism that will allow
for remote dumping of the core. I'm not sure if netdump is functionally
supported in your version of the kernel.

Subject: [Crash-utility] netdump issue
I am implementing a netdump . I crashed one sever and got the vmcore file in
/var/crash/vmcore , then i checked the kernel version through
strings vmcore | fgrep -m1 'Linux'
Linux version 2.4.21-40.ELsmp ([email protected]) (gcc
version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-54)) #1 SMP Thu Feb 2 22:22:39 EST
2006
So now while installing the kernel-debuginfo , it should match the version
above i.e something like "kernel-debuginfo.2.4.21.40.ELsmp.i368.rpm"
But i installed the closest one and that was
kernel-debuginfo.2.4.21.40.EL.i386.rpm but after installing them i should have
/usr/lib/debug/module/vmlinux , which i could'nt see them .
Can anyone give me the link to the rpm i am looking for , or suggest some idea.
( the server that i am dumping vmcore is version 5 )
I have bunch of server with version 2 and version 3 and version 4 in my
production environment for which i have to configure netdump to collect the
vmcore in version 5 server .
