I see that makedumpfile-1.3.8 was recently released, but it still has a LATEST_VERSION of 2.6.36: #define OLDEST_VERSION KERNEL_VERSION(2, 6, 15)/* linux-2.6.15 */ #define LATEST_VERSION KERNEL_VERSION(2, 6, 36)/* linux-2.6.36 */ You haven't stated what your kernel version is, but it seems makedumpfile cannot get past this point. On the other hand, the compressed kdump was created, so I'm not entirely clear. > Is there any other way to extract the ELF style vmcore file from the > kdump compressed format. Please guide me. I don't believe so... But I'm not the makedumpfile maintainer, so I'd prefer not to give any definitive answers to your questions. I've cc'd the upstream maintainer of makedumpfile.
