Re: [Crash-utility] "crash: cannot allocate any more memory!" for 2.6.27.4

Hi, I am able to use crash to debug a crash dump generated when I initiate the crash using the sysrq-trigger in the /proc directory. But when I try to use crash to debug a kernel vmcore generated due to the insertion of my module, I get the error below. Please let me know if I am doing anything wrong or if you think that the dump is corrupted. I use kdump for dump collection. I am using a 2.6.27.4-2-default kernel. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /var/crash/2008-12-01-18:40 # crash System.map-default vmlinux vmcore
