      Found the log of "The kernel version is not supported" during kdump saving kernel.

 # rpm -q makedumpfile kdump-utils
makedumpfile-1.7.5-12.el10.aarch64
kdump-utils-1.0.43-1.el10.aarch64

      Seems the msg is from makedumpfile which only supports up to linux-6.8.4 now.

      #define OLDEST_VERSION KERNEL_VERSION(2, 6, 15) /* linux-2.6.15 */
#define LATEST_VERSION KERNEL_VERSION(6, 8, 4) /* linux-6.8.4 */

      Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:
      6.11.0-0.rc3.19.el10.aarch64
      How reproducible:
      100%

      Steps to reproduce

      • start a RHEL-10 system
      • trigger crash and check console output or "kexec-dmesg.log"

      Expected results
      No such message causes confusion.

      Actual results
      Shows kernel version is not supported in RHEL-10.
