I'm sorry, build of debuginfo packages is currently broken in spec.
however you can rebuild kernel with default config with enabled debuginfo option

Thanks for your reply.

1. First I've realized that the newest version of ovz kernel  has appeared.
And also there is an ovzkernel-debug package present.

Could you tell me,  what the package  ovzkernel-debug  means ?
Will it enough for debugging the kernel coredump  with crash utility ?


2.  Following your advice,
I've  rebuilded the kernel with the next way:

yum install auto-buildrequires gcc redhat-rpm-config
wget current_kernel_src.rpm
rpm -ivh current_kernel_src.rpm

cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/

set in kernel-ovz.spec:
%define _without_debuginfo 0

rpmbuild -bp kernel-ovz.spec
rpmbuild -ba --target=`uname -i` kernel-ovz.spec


And currently I have a choose what kernel version I need to install:
# ls -1 ../RPMS/x86_64/
ovzkernel-2.6.18-238.5.1.el5.028stab085.3.x86_64.rpm
ovzkernel-debug-2.6.18-238.5.1.el5.028stab085.3.x86_64.rpm
ovzkernel-devel-2.6.18-238.5.1.el5.028stab085.3.x86_64.rpm
ovzkernel-xen-2.6.18-238.5.1.el5.028stab085.3.x86_64.rpm
ovzkernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-238.5.1.el5.028stab085.3.x86_64.rpm


And I'm a little confused:

use the official  openvz builded   ovzkernel-debug  \  ovzkernel
or  install my own builded kernel  ovzkernel  or ovzkernel-debug ...


3. It's good for current versions of the kernel,  however
how I can  analize the obtained vmcores from previous kernels?
To analyze the vmcore with "crash" I need a corresponding mapfile for that kernel versions.
Or there is not a big sense to do this?

2.
After upgrading the server for 16G ram, I started to see a lot of kernel panics.


Please catch kernel panic messages and report to bugzilla.openvz.org

It says something like this:

RIP [<ffffffff802451ae>] rt_check_expire +0xea/0x23b
Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exeption

I'm not sure that this will be helpful  without  analyzing of kernel dump.


Thanks a lot!
