Hi ,
I have tried to use crash 4.1.0 in ubuntu 10.04 kernel (2.6.32.25), when I don't specify the memory dump file ,it works perfectly as it reads the memory from crash driver (crash model), it shows below:
root@o:/# crash /boot/System.map-2.6.32-25-generic /home/amer/ubuntu-lucid/debian/build/build-generic/vmlinux
crash 4.1.0
