As for many others before, the time has come for me to analyze a memory dump (KDump vmcore file) which I've found that the kernel of the system from which was taken was 2.6.32-554.el6.x86_64.
So far I've been able to find all the dependencies and the items required to load the dump in "Crash Utility" but only for the 2.6.32-573.el6.x86_64 version.
Therefore I would be very much appreciated if someone could help point to a website having it or the even the steps on how to get it.
Thanks in advance for any help.
P.S: Newbie rookie wannabie here.... which has been using Linux only for 2.5 months.
The kernel version you list is for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.
On RHEL6 you have to enable an additional repository to see the kernel-debuginfo rpms. (That is to say you don't see it by default - this is a change from RHEL5).
You can then see all the versions that are available from that repository by running:
yum list kernel-debuginfo --showduplicates
However, when I do that it skips from 504 to 573 which makes me wonder where you got the 554. Is this NOT RHEL but some derivative like OEL, CentOS or Scientific Linux? If so you'd have to find which repository for that Distro has what you want.
What do you see when you type "cat /etc/redhat-release" and/or "cat /etc/issue" and/or "uname -a"?
You're probably still using RHN Classic rather than Subscription Manager. RHN Classic is going away so you should probably work on changing your systems to Subscription Manager at some point.
For now however, you can use command to enable it for kernel versions it has:
rhn-channel -a -c rhel-`uname -i`-Server-6-debuginfo -u <Your RHN ID> -p <Your Password>"
I'm still not sure why this 554 doesn't show up in the yum list for me. Even more interestingly when I try to download from above it says I need a subscription even though I already have them. I notice there are os390 and ppc downloads available at the above link. Are you running this on IBM hardware? Maybe it is specialized for that.
