kernel-debuginfo ovz-kernel; kernel panic

description: Hi, all. A few questions. 1. Does anybody know, where I can obtain the kernel-debuginfo and kernel-debuginfo-common packages for stable ovz-kernel ? (2.6.18-238.5.1.el5.028stab085.2) 2. After upgrading the server for 16G ram, I started to see a lot of kernel panics. The hardware is desktop grade, AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 945 Processor MSI 770-C45 16G of mem. OS: CentOS 5.5 with the latest openvz kernel. However, I've checked the mem with memtest86+, and it shows no errors. And I've successfully got a kernel dump (with kdump), so it seems to be related to some software errors. With 8G of mem, the server was running 1 year without any errors. Any suggestions ? PS. also in the messages: kernel: amd64_edac: probe of 0000:00:18.2 failed with error -22 kernel: EDAC amd64_edac: Ver: 3.2.0 May 18 2010 kernel: EDAC amd64: This node reports that Memory ECC is currently disabled, set F3x44[22] (0000:00:18.3). kernel: EDAC amd64: WARNING: ECC is disabled by BIOS.

Module will NOT be loaded. IMHO it isn't fatal messages, you can ignore it. thank you, Vasily Averin

First I've realized that the newest version of ovz kernel has appeared. And also there is an ovzkernel-debug package present. Could you tell me, what the package ovzkernel-debug means ? Will it enough for debugging the kernel coredump with crash utility ? 2. Following your advice, I've rebuilded the kernel with the next way: yum install auto-buildrequires gcc redhat-rpm-config wget current_kernel_src.rpm rpm -ivh current_kernel_src.rpm cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/ set in kernel-ovz.spec: %define _without_debuginfo 0 rpmbuild -bp kernel-ovz.spec rpmbuild -ba --target=`uname -i` kernel-ovz.spec And currently I have a choose what kernel version I need to install: # ls -1 ../RPMS/x86_64/ ovzkernel-2.6.18-238.5.1.el5.028stab085.3.x86_64.rpm ovzkernel-debug-2.6.18-238.5.1.el5.028stab085.3.x86_64.rpm ovzkernel-devel-2.6.18-238.5.1.el5.028stab085.3.x86_64.rpm ovzkernel-xen-2.6.18-238.5.1.el5.028stab085.3.x86_64.rpm ovzkernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-238.5.1.el5.028stab085.3.x86_64.r pm And I'm a little confused: use the official openvz builded ovzkernel-debug \ ovzkernel or install my own builded kernel ovzkernel or ovzkernel-debug ... 3. It's good for current versions of the kernel, however how I can analize the obtained vmcores from previous kernels? To analyze the vmcore with "crash" I need a corresponding mapfile for that kernel versions. Or there is not a big sense to do this? >> 2. >> After upgrading the server for 16G ram, I started to see a lot of >> kernel panics. >> >> > Please catch kernel panic messages and report to bugzilla.openvz.org > It says something like this: RIP [<ffffffff802451ae>] rt_check_expire +0…
