[Bug 345517] New: crash error message is misleading
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=345517 Summary: crash error message is misleading Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Development AssignedTo: bwalle@novell.com ReportedBy: jdelvare@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: L3 When crash cannot find the debug part of a kernel binary, it displays the following error message: "vmcore" is not a core dump: File format not recognized This makes the user believe that the dump file itself is somehow broken. It would be better if the error message was clearly indicating that the debug part of the kernel binary had not been found. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
