Provide what information you can.  Without knowing a single thing
about your hardware, storage config and workload, I can't help you
at all. You're asking me to find a needle in a haystack blindfolded
and with both hands tied behind my back....

Stuff like /proc/meminfo doesn't have to be provided from exactly
the time of the crash - it's just the simplest way to find out how
much RAM you have in the machine, so a dump from whenever the
machine is up and running the workload is fine. Other information we
ask for (e.g. capturing the output of `vmstat 5` as suggested in the
FAQ) gives us the runtime variation of memory usage and easy to
capture right up to the failure point....

Cheers,

Dave.
