The issue is that lkcd's lcrash _doesn't_ have that problem because it reads all offsets of that structure dynamically from kerntypes (the kernel has the same structures) while crash does that statically. However, that patch at least works for both SLES-10 and SLES-9 kernels on IA-64 (I don't know why the position of dha_kernel_addr was changed, sorry :)) and is better than recompiling crash. Maybe it also helps you. It will be included at least in openSUSE 10.3 packages. Regards, Bernhard
