Hi Dave,
on some distributions (e.g. Ubuntu) crash cannot find the live kernel image
because of a slight mismatch between kt->proc_version and 'strings' output
from namelist file (e.g. /boot/vmlinux-debug-2.6.22-14-generic)
Namely, kt->proc_version is LF-terminated, but there is no LF in 'strings
vmlinux' output.
If I strip LF from the end of kt->proc_version, everything works fine
