Hi, Dave >- Introduced support for upstream xensource ELF format dumpfiles, > which will replace the current xendump format in xen 3.0.5. The > new xen format uses ELF in a non-standard manner such that memory > contents are defined in section headers instead of the traditional > manner of using program headers. Testing has been on paravirtualized > x86, x86 PAE, x86_64 and ia64 dumpfiles. Fully-virtualized dumpfiles > have not been tested. (anderson@xxxxxxxxxx) > I tested vmcore with ELF format "xm dump-core" and crash-4.0-3.21 on IA64. The result is good. Thank you for your work. # crash /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.9-22.EL/vmlinux /var/xen/dump/2007-0405- 2138.38-vti.1.core crash 4.0-3.21 Copyright (C) 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 Red Hat, Inc.
