First, is the vmlinuz that the kernel is running created from the ./vmlinux
file that you're using as an argument?
yes.
I'm guessing that it continued on and complained
about not being able to read the the linux_banner string, and then died?
crash exited right after what I posted.
I can run crash on 2.6.9-11 kernels, but not 2.6.9-22.
Here's the -d run. It looks like I have a memory read issue.
[root@f14 linux-2.6.9-22.0.2.EL]# crash -d7 ./vmlinux
crash 4.0-2
