No, not directly. We still ship the makedumpfile.config. Yes, we plan to switch to /proc/vmcore vmcoreinfo for next release (SLES 11). I'll test your patch on PPC and give feedback! But I think the patch is also valid since makedumpfile.config file is still supported and should work. Bernhard -- Bernhard Walle, SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Architecture Development
