That reminds me that "pud_clear_bad()" is not a good choice for detecting new layout (its a generic routine - not ppc64 specific and is in 2.6.11 onwards). Funny thing is, I am not sure original crash is working on pre-2.6.14 kernel either. I see PTE_SHIFT changed from 16 to 17 in 2.6.10. I guess crash is broken from 2.6.10 onwards for ppc64. 2.6.10 onwards: #define PTE_SHIFT (17) < 2.6.10: (which crash understands) #define PTE_SHIFT (16) Thanks, Badari
