When my server starts I received this text:
[code]No kdump kernel image found: [WARNING]
Tried to locate /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-164.6.1.el5.centos.plus
Loading kdump: [FAILED][/code]
And now it says a similar message:
[code]No kdump kernel image found: [WARNING]
Tried to locate /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-164.9.1.el5
Loading kdump: [FAILED][/code]
I tried turning kdump off and then back on, but to no avail.
kdump FAILED to load

Re: kdump FAILED to load
Did you configure it? See http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2009-April/074883.html - first hit on a google of [code]kdump site:centos.org[/code].

Re: kdump FAILED to load
I always configure kdump when I install CentOS. As said I have tried enabling and disabling it several times now. I have changed the memory each time between 128-256-and-512.
As per the http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=kdump+site%3Acentos.org :
1st) About building the crash file when I do not need to generate crash files, I need to generate the kdump kernel image.
2nd) kdump loads at startup, it just does not locate the kernel image.
3rd) Where to save the crash file to, I want it to generate the kernel image.
4th) Panic occurs during runtime, mine occurs at boottime.
5th) This topic.
And I used system-config-kdump to enable/disable and change the memory amount of kdump.

I don't quite follow what you mean by 1st) ... 5th), except that it is understood that you need the kdump kernel image.
Check for full filesystems, particularly /boot / or /var.

Re: kdump FAILED to load
By 1st) through 5th) I meant what the first 5 results of:
[code]kdump site:centos.org[/code]
Came up with. It does not matter I found the solution:
I thought I had all the non-Xen versions of my kernels installed, but the most recent time I reinstalled my server it did not add them, so all I had to do was add all the non-Xen kernels with my Package Updater.
