My question are as follows: (1) There are so may warnings like this: crash: xxxxxx: original filename unknown Use "-f xxxxxx" on command line to prevent this message. Do I need to add somay "-f xxxxxx" options on command line? Is there any better method? (2) "machine type mismatch" WARNING: machine type mismatch: crash utility: X86_64 /var/tmp/xen-4.5.1_10-1.gz_E5lLat: X86 But according to "uname -a": # uname -a Linux linux-6ev3 3.12.49-6-xen #1 SMP Mon Oct 26 16:05:37 UTC 2015 (11560c3) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux The running SuSE is also a 64-bit OS, so whether can remove these warnings? (3) WARNING: could not find MAGIC_START! WARNING: cannot read linux_banner string crash: /var/tmp/vmlinux-3.12.49-6-xen.gz_FjRFMJ and /dev/mem do not match! How can I fix this issue and run crash on SuSE? Thanks very much in advance!
