Hi,
Could someone please explain why we cannot get source line numbers when
disassembling modules? Is the problem missing functionality in
store_load_module_symbols() or is there an inherent limitation with the
gdb linked in with crash in that it cannot accept additional debug_line
information for modules? I ask because gdb has this functionality for
user-space shared libraries and it seems to work OK. Or am I missing
something which is much more complex?
Thanks,

What architecture?
I'm presuming that you're running the "mod" command to load
the debuginfo data from the target module:

Hi Alan,
What versions of crash/kernel are you using? I've encountered this
before, but it seems to be dependent on the version of crash and/or the
kernel that you're working on.
E.g. on some RHEL4 crash builds, and with some kernels, "dis -l" fails
to give useful line number references, while with others it's fine.
I didn't note down which combinations I found worked and which
didn't - I ended up using it as an opportunity to improve my assembler
reading skills and did without the line number info :)
I'll go back over this and try to figure out what does & doesn't work
for me.
Regards,
Bryn.
