I am trying to install and boot kernel with the uncompressed image. Actually I want to use the Kdump module for debugging. As per the document below
the crash kernel (secondary kernel) used by the Kdump needs to have the uncompressed image named 'vmlinux' and not 'vmlinuz'.
I copied the 'vmlinux' image from /usr/src/linux (folder where source code for the crash kernel resides) to /boot and renamed it as vmlinux-2.6.25.14-kdump
Modified grub.conf as mentioned below (LILO is not used)
title Fedora (2.6.25.14-kdump)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinux-2.6.25.14-kdump ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
initrd /initrd-2.6.25.14-kdump.img
When I reboot into this kernel, I get the following error:
"Error 13: Invalid or unsupported exectable format"
It may be because bzImage is expected. How do I may it work? Please advise me on this. I am pretty new to Linux environment.
Thank you.
