Is this supposed to be? > What do you see on other (ie not SN) ia64 platforms? > Yes, this is the stack on all other platforms.., You may call it INIT instead of NMI because NMI is another kind of interrupt that can be masked by psr.i... Kdump construct an additional switch stack frame on top of current stack thus crash tool can do its unwind from that. Kdump also capture ip, sp, bsp and other register related to current stack frame to help gdb to unwind the stack. What you see is the stack of INIT , you may use crash tools to back trace stack of other process. However INIT can break CPU in any context include PROM code, so it is not possible to back trace the stack of INIT happening..
