I'm having constant problems with RHEL recently. My desktop crashes during the day occasionally (once a day roughly) and is hung (black screen) every morning requiring a button-hitting restart. Clicking the kernel crash dumps menu item does nothing. I'm wondering if it's to do with the latest round of redhat updates but I don't want to just unwind updates on mere suspicion. Anybody else hating Red Hat this week? How can I view the crash dumps?2.6.32-358.2.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Feb 20 12:17:37 EST 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linuxcat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation release 6.4 (Santiago)Already have this installed too:yum install kexec-tools crash kernel-debuginfo kernel-debuginfo-common system-config-kdumpLoaded plugins: product-id, refresh-packagekit, rhnplugin, securityThis system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or RHN Satellite.rhel-x86_64-workstation-6                                                                                                                                                                                              | 1.8 kB     00:00     Setting up Install ProcessPackage kexec-tools-2.0.0-258.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest versionPackage crash-6.1.0-1.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest versionNo package kernel-debuginfo available.No package kernel-debuginfo-common available.Package system-config-kdump-2.0.5-15.el6.noarch already installed and latest versionNothing to doAnd:grep -v # /etc/kdump.conf path /var/crashcore_collector makedumpfile -c --message-level 1 -d 31
