The reason is that makedumpfile gets a running kernel's page_size as a 1st-kernel's page_size. If they are different, makedumpfile cannot analyze /proc/vmcore and it fails. So I think a configuration file should be created while 1st-kernel is running. >It's a big problem because my plan was to ship the configuration files >with the kernel RPMs in SLES.

It is a good idea to ship the configuration files with the kernel RPMs. I think you can do it with current implementation, because you need only one configuration file for one kernel image. I think you can ship configuration files as follows: 1. Build a kernel file and a debuginfo file. 2. Boot the system with the above kernel file. 3. Generate a configration file from a debuginfo file. 4. Ship the configration file with the kernel RPM. Any problem to follow the method above ? Thanks Ken'ichi Ohmichi
