== Comment: #1 - Vaishnavi Bhat <vaish...@in.ibm.com> - 2016-10-26 06:05:26 ==
The makedumpfile.h defines the latest kernel version as 4.5.3 where as the
uname output gives a higher kernel version (4.8.0 ), Hence we are seeing this
message in the dmesg.
#define OLDEST_VERSION KERNEL_VERSION(2, 6, 15)/* linux-2.6.15 */
#define LATEST_VERSION KERNEL_VERSION(4, 5, 3)/* linux-4.5.3 */
