It's helpful. I'll let you know after I consider what's needed to be described. I've not yet have git tree in public but it'll help if exists. I'll consider that from now on. Also, I have a question about the fact that gcore hanged during the process of gathering note information. I attempted reproducing the bug on 2.6.35.10-74.fc14.x86_64 with crash-5.0.6-2.fc14.x86_64 and crash-5.1.1, but it have not been reproduced yet: gcore worked well for both crash versions. I then retried using 2.6.34-2.fc14.x86_64 but failed to boot on the same environment as in 2.6.35.10-74.fc14.x86_64. So, questions I have are: In what kind of environments did you face the hang? I want to and need to set up the same environment as yours. In Fedora Alpha, its kernel version was already 2.6.35 according to the release notes: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_14_Alpha_release_notes#Linux_Kernel_2.6.35 Also, it is helpful if you show me a backtrace during gcore hanging.
