Could you please tell me the following items ? - The cpu architecture and the kernel version # please send me the output of 'uname -a'. - The memory model (flatmem/discontigmem/sparsemem) # please send me the kernel config file (/boot/config-2.6.XX). - The makedumpfile version # please send me the output of 'makedumpfile -v'. The latest makedumpfile (version 1.2.5) supports the following kernels, and you can get it from https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=178938. | FLATMEM | DISCONTIGMEM | SPARSEMEM |-------------------+-------------------+------------------- Kernel| | x86| | PPC| | x86| | PPC| | x86| | PPC Version| x86| _64|ia64| 64| x86| _64|ia64| 64| x86| _64|ia64| 64 -------+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+---- 2.6.15 | OK | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- 2.6.16 | OK | OK | -- | | -- | OK | OK | -- | -- | | -- | 2.6.17 | OK | OK | -- | | -- | OK | -- | -- | -- | OK | -- | 2.6.18 | OK | OK | -- | OK | -- | OK | OK | -- | -- | OK | OK | OK 2.6.19 | OK | OK | -- | OK | OK | OK |TODO| -- | OK | OK | OK | OK 2.6.20 | OK | OK | -- | KP | OK | OK |TODO| -- | OK | OK | OK | KP 21-rc5 | OK | OK | -- | OK | OK | OK |TODO| -- | OK | OK | OK | OK 2.6.21 | OK | OK | -- | | OK | OK |TODO| -- | OK | OK | OK | 2.6.22 | OK | OK | -- | | OK | OK |TODO| -- | OK | OK | OK | 2.6.23 | OK | OK | -- | | OK | OK |TODO| -- | OK | OK | OK | 2.6.24 | OK | OK | -- | | OK | OK |TODO| -- | OK | OK | OK | Thanks Ken'ichi Ohmichi
