that format changes occurred in the lkcd dump because of this messagecrash: LKCD machine specific dump header doesn't match crash version
crash: traceback of currently executing threads may not workI'm debugging that now. But, if you have some patches already in the
queue that I can try out or something like this, I would be happy. ;)
I wish I could help you out, but w/respect to anything associated
with
LKCD, I'm only a receptor of patches from the LKCD developers on
the
list, and I personally don't do any work with them at all.
That whole ia64-specific lkcd_fix_mem.c file came from Troy Heber
for
ia64 LKCD dumpfile support (troy.heber@xxxxxx). Troy's an
active
contributor on this list, and may have a quick answer -- I'm afraid
I
have no idea what it does...

But the problem was easy to fix, see my attachment. You aggree that
the string length must only be smaller. The problem occurs on IA64
here.> What does "head -100 map.4." show?
000d5c59 A __crc_simple_sync_file
0013a785 A __crc_fb_create_modedb
0014bfd1 A __crc_smp_call_function
00363991 A __crc_pci_bus_read_config_byte
004142de A __crc_rwsem_downgrade_wake
0060e766 A __crc_tty_termios_baud_rate
00752358 A __crc_permission
00801678 A __crc_flush_scheduled_work
[...]
Yes I agree (presuming that eventually the list turns into 64-bit
symbol values). But I don't see any attachment other
than your pgp
signature?
I'd never seen those types of __crc_ absolutes, probably because
they don't show up in our kernels. The closest 2.6.5-era
ia64
Red Hat kernel (2.6.5-1.358) System.map starts out like this:
a00000010010c5a0 T I_BDEV
a0000001005bd140 r __ksymtab_I_BDEV
a0000001005c6ca8 r __kstrtab_I_BDEV
a00000010030ff60 T QUIRK_LIST
a0000001005c0950 r __ksymtab_QUIRK_LIST
a0000001005cb698 r __kstrtab_QUIRK_LIST
a000000100714ff8 S ROOT_DEV
a0000001005bb020 r __ksymtab_ROOT_DEV
a0000001005c4248 r __kstrtab_ROOT_DEV
a00000010030fd00 T SELECT_DRIVE
a0000001005c0920 r __ksymtab_SELECT_DRIVE
a0000001005cb660 r __kstrtab_SELECT_DRIVE
a00000010030fde0 T SELECT_INTERRUPT
Whatever... maybe a different build CONFIG or something?
But anyway, can you send your patch again?
