I'm having a difficult time enabling LKCD (Linux Kerrnel Crash Dump) so I can get a crash dump next time the machine crashes (which it has done twice in the last week for no evident reason). I'm an old hand with Linux, but SuSE is new to me, so I'm probably missing some SuSe-specific detail.
This is OpenSuSE 10.1, running the SMP kernel: Linux hosting1 2.6.16.21-0.25-smp #1 SMP Tue Sep 19 07:26:15 UTC 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Part 1: Recompiling the kernel I cd /usr/src/linux and 'make menuconfig' I head into kernel hacking, and set LKCD to M. I then type make. After some time of compiling, it eventually bails: LD .tmp_vmlinux1 arch/x86_64/kernel/built-in.o:(__ksymtab_gpl+0x80): undefined reference to `page_is_ram' make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1 This also happens if I set LKCD to Y instead of M. Doesn't make any difference. Any word on how I can enable crash dump support in the kernel? Part 2: I'm a bit confused about versions. On LKCD's website lkcd.sourceforge.net the release of LKCD is 6.2.0 However, SuSE 10.1 x86_64 includes lkcdutils 7.1.0 Also, all of the docs about LKCD mention lkcd_config and other such binaries. However, the lkcdutils RPM only has 2 binaries: configdump and savedump. Am I completely confused here? Is this lkcdutils a completely unrelated package from the official LKCD release? -- HostGIS Cartographic development and hosting services 707-822-9355 http://www.HostGIS.com/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
