Than just run $ crash /boot/vmlinux-<version> for live debugging and $ crash /boot/vmlinux-<version> vmcore for post debugging. For SLES 10 SP2 GA, you find the debuginfo package at http://beta.suse.com/private/bwalle/debuginfo/SUSE-Linux-Enterprise-Server-SP2-10-GMC/ for maintenance update you have to add some debuginfo channel.
