Error message from makedumpfile

[Shan <only2mee@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

I wanted to test makedumpfile utility in my system and installed makedumpfile-1.1.4-3.x86_64.rpm (distribution Open SuSE).

The makedumpfile version is

         makedumpfile: version 1.1.4 (released on 08 June 2007)

 

First I moved to the dump directory (as root) and executed the command

  

       > makedumpfile -c -d 31 -x /boot/vmlinux-2.6.16.21-0.8.uis.1-smp vmcore test_vmcoe

 

I got the following error message

            get_debug_info: Can't create a handle for a new debug session.

            makedumpfile Failed.

I looked into makedumpfile.c file and found the following part of the code in function get_debug_info() throws the error message.

         if (!(dwarfd = dwarf_begin_elf(elfd, DWARF_C_READ, NULL))) {
                ERRMSG("Can't create a handle for a new debug session.\n");
                goto out;
        }

I also tried to look into the function dwarf_begin_elf function found in the following link

But could not understand much.

Could anybody assist me to get the proper result?

Thanks,
