Linux Kernel Panic

[Ivajlo Yanakiev]

I have Kernel panic on my rx2600
OS RedHat AS 2.1
uname -a Linux InfoServer 2.4.18-e.31smp #1 SMP Wed May 21 17:47:59 EDT 2003 ia64 unknown

How I can get Crash from linux ?

[Jorge Peinado]

Hi

On x86 platforms there's a utility called
LKCD ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/lkcd )

I don't know if it's been migrated
to Itanium architecture, but i think it will be early.

Best Regards,

What you think about netdump ?

[Jorge Peinado]

Hi

Until now, i don't know anything about that tool ( netdump ). It seems interesting to me, although some of the arguments about PC firmware ( http://www.redhat.com/support/wpapers/redhat/netdump/ ) and the inability to make disk dumps, don't make much sense for EFI and Itanium firmware, and for today memory and disks sizes on servers.

B.R.
Jorge.

Did you enable the verbose mode of klogd - kernel log daemon- in /etc/sysconfig/syslog
?

It gives further infos.
Peace, R.

[Ivajlo Yanakiev]

Yes this is good idea. Thks :)

[Roberto Polli]

Did you get the Crash?

Peace, R>

[Ivajlo Yanakiev]

not :(
I can not rebild my kernel.
There is many errors :( when #make modules
and I cann't build netconsole kernel modul :(
or include LKCD
But I get picture with camera :))

When I start Off line diag there is messg that show some problem with USB.
I remove all USB device (kbd,mouse) and server working for now. How long ? I don't know :(

This isn't a decision but workaround.

I'll put your picture on my desktop! IT's amazing.

Can't you upgrade your kernel? did you search on
www.redhat.com/errata ?

Peace, R.

[Ivajlo Yanakiev]

My Linux is up to date. I have all update and sec fix. Also I sent service call to RedHat, but noting useful for now.
They just want form me a lot of info and after that noting.
at last I need response like :))

" We can not help you "

Noting :(

Did you try to bild new kernel for Redhat Advance server ?
I think that this is impossible.
There is problem with some owners that missing and so on.

If you have + results pls tell me your way
