crash: cannot find booted kernel -- please enter namelist argument
Usage:
crash [-h [opt]][-v][-s][-i file][-d num] [-S] [mapfile] [namelist] [dumpfile]
when I enter the system.map and the vmlinux , it works perfectly and it reads from the /dev/crash. but if I specify the /dev/crash in the argument like this:
root@o:/home/amer/Desktop# crash /boot/System.map-2.6.32-25-generic vmlinux /dev/crash (or dd /dev/crash > image.dd)
I got this output:
crash: /dev/crash: not a supported file format
I don't know If I'm missing something ,but the link below shows that dd /dev/crash > image.dd can work in crash
