savecore: warning: /kernel version mismatch: ...

[Marc G. Fournier]

Morning all ...

  'K, this one is a first for me ... server crashed this aft and savecore
wouldn't dump the resultant core:

pluto# savecore -v /vm/crash
dumplo = 4362141696 (8519808 * 512)
savecore: warning: /kernel version mismatch:
        "FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE #1: Sat May 31 22:57:04 ADT 2003
"
and     " #(#(#("

savecore: reboot
savecore: dump time is zero

  I'm doing a 'savecore -f' on her right now, just in case ther is
something that can be done with it ...

  The server was rebooted 8 days ago, and the /kernel file is dated May
31st, so she was definitely running the same kernel as is/was in /kernel
...

  And, savecore is from the same upgrade:

pluto# ls -lt /kernel `which savecore`
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  2027933 May 31 23:43 /kernel
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   168364 May 31 23:42 /sbin/savecore

  Help?

Thanks ..
