Package: kexec-tools Version: 1:2.0.3-2 Severity: important During boot, I get the following error messages from /etc/init.d/kdump-tools:
Sun May 12 16:55:07 2013: Starting kdump-tools: Unsupported utsname.release: 3.8-1-amd64 Sun May 12 16:55:07 2013: Cannot load /boot/vmlinuz-3.8-1-amd64 Sun May 12 16:55:07 2013: [....] failed to load kdump kernel ...FAIL failed! The source of the error messages seems to be the following command invoked by "/usr/sbin/kdump-config load": /sbin/kexec -p --command-line="BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.8-1-amd64 root=UUID=$MY_UUID ro quiet irqpoll maxcpus=1 nousb" --initrd=/boot/initrd.img-3.8-1-amd64 /boot/vmlinuz-3.8-1-amd64 The command above prints the following messages: Unsupported utsname.release: 3.8-1-amd64 Cannot load /boot/vmlinuz-3.8-1-amd64 Running on kernel 3.8.12 from kernel.org does not result in this error. It seems like /sbin/kexec expects the kernel release to be a major, minor, patch triplet, which isn't the case in Sid anymore: uname -a Linux $HOSTNAME 3.8-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.8.12-1 x86_64 GNU/Linux Compare this to uname -a on Wheezy: Linux $HOSTNAME 3.2.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.2.41-2 i686 GNU/Linux The parsing of the Linux kernel version is done by the following file in the kexec-tools package: ./kexec-tools-2.0.3/kexec/kernel_version.c Possible solutions to this bug: * Patch kernel_version.c to successfully parse 3.8-1 * Revert the version of the Debian kernel to the same scheme as in Wheezy -- Stig Inge Lea Bjørnsen stigi...@pvv.org -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.8-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.utf8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages kexec-tools depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.50 ii libc6 2.17-1 kexec-tools recommends no packages. kexec-tools suggests no packages. -- debconf information: kexec-tools/use_grub_config: false * kexec-tools/load_kexec: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
