Hi,

I wanted to test makedumpfile utility in my system and installed
makedumpfile-1.1.4-3.x86_64.rpm (distribution Open SuSE).
The makedumpfile version is
        makedumpfile: version 1.1.4 (released on 08 June 2007)

First I moved to the dump directory (as root) and executed the command

      > makedumpfile -c -d 31 -x
/boot/vmlinux-2.6.16.21-0.8.uis.1-smpvmcore test_vmcoe

I got the following error message
           get_debug_info: Can't create a handle for a new debug session.

           makedumpfile Failed.

I looked into makedumpfile.c file and found the following part of the code
in function get_debug_info() throws the error message.

        if (!(dwarfd = dwarf_begin_elf(elfd, DWARF_C_READ, NULL))) {
               ERRMSG("Can't create a handle for a new debug session.\n");
               goto out;
       }

I also tried to look into the function dwarf_begin_elf function found in the
following link

But could not understand much.

Could anybody assist me to get the proper result?

Thanks,
