Re: [Xen-devel] About how to set crash dump enable

Hi, Ryo

Sorry for my late reply.
I think the difference between linux and xen is only grub/menu.list.
Can you try;

1. vim /boot/grub/menu.list
    title Xen-unstable
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /xen.gz nmi=fatal crashkernel=128M@32M
        module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-xen ro root=LABEL=/12 rhgb nmi_watchdog=0
        module /initrd-2.6.18-xen.img
2. Setup kdump like the below. (it is the same as linux.)
   # /sbin/kexec  --args-linux --elf64-core-headers -p \
     --command-line="ro root=LABEL=/12 irqpoll maxcpus=1" \
     --initrd="/boot/initrd-2.6.18.img /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18

You can make kdump kernel by compiling with CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE=y, CONFIG_KEXEC=y
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y, and so on. RHEL5 kernel is useful. :-)
