That's only one part of the problem. Your patch doesn't handle ELF
dumps (netdump.c). There are also other parts that need update. I have
a more complete patch that was also tested on PPC, too. Dave, should I
port that patch to the current crash release or don't you want that
changes in crash?
Is that patch in the SuSE crash utility? If so, it needs fixing as I
found this while testing 2.6.27.8-1-default kernels. I applied this
patch and was then able to open dumps.
