Hi all,
I am a newbie with Xen. I was working on Xen and hit an assertion. I was
trying to dump the hypervisor image from the /proc/vmcore file I obtained after
kdump rebooted. However, I had trouble getting the python script dom0cut.py to
work.
I followed the instruction on Xen wiki to install the latest libelf.0.8.9
from [1] and the libelf wrapper from [2]. I also had to create a softlink
/usr/lib/libelf.so.1 to get the script to run. Here is the command I used:
"dom0cut.py -o xenImage -d ~/dumpcore1 --target=x -x
~/stuff/xen/xen-3.1-testing.hg/xen/xen-syms -telf". However, the script
seemed to require eu-readelf to work. Therefore, I had to install elfutils
(0.123-3). Then, I get the following errors:
Traceback (most recent call la!
st):
File "/usr/bin/dom0cut.py", line 8, in ?

ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/libelf/_libelf.so: undefined

Apparently, elfutils installed another libelf and overwrote the symlink I
created. So, I made the symlink point back to the original !
libelf that I installed but then I get a different error message:
<

ValueError: section isn''t found
It looks to me that there are 2 different releases of libelf out
there: [1] and the one with elfutils [3] (and maintained by Redhat !?).
Any clues on how to deal with this issues ? Does re-compiling eu-readelf from
source work ? Thanks.
