Using the latest F7 kernel and crash I'm getting the following

WARNING: cannot read linux_banner string
crash: /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.22.1-20.fc7/vmlinux and /dev/crash
do not match!
I've tried both crash and crash -f with no luck.
I've search the mailing list and was unable to find any
thing talked about this problem... So I'm thinking this
may not be a known problem... If it is, please let me know
otherwise does anybody have idea what the problem could be?

Steve,
In these kinds of cases, a "crash -d7" will often help
pinpointing the failure cause, i.e., such as displaying
the linux_banner string from both the vmlinux and from memory,
showing the mis-match, or in this case, the virtual address
that's being used for the linux_banner which is causing the
read-from-/dev/crash failure.
Anyway, any chance you give me access to the machine?
Thanks,
Dave
