Problem opening core file.
by Rohit Persai
Greetings,
I am trying to open a core file but getting following error. I am sure
that I am using right kernel + kernel-debuginfo package. As following
command on crash log shows version on kernel in use.
# cat crash-log | grep -i 2.4.21
EIP is at check_pgt_cache [kernel] 0x19 (2.4.21-47.ELsmp)

Thanks for the patch -- I'll queue it for the next release.
It will be some time after August 4th -- I'm on vacation
and just happen to be borrowing somebody's laptop.

[PATCH] crash: fix the bug about the command kmem
by Wen Congyang
Hi
When I use kmem command on an IA64 box with RHEL5.2 as following,
there are some errors.
crash> kmem -P e000000076c00000
Segmentation fault
The issue is that dump_mem_map() shouldn't be called when the address is a bad address.

/dev/tty no such device or address
by SUJIT V
I am trying to invoke the crash utility through one of the linux startup
scripts.
crash -i command.txt vmlinux vmcore
But this gives an error
/dev/tty no such device or address.
The tty is /dev/console
Once the linux box boots up and i login and use the same crash command as
above it works correctly
The tty of the login shell is /dev/ttyS0
Any pointers on solving the error "/dev/tty no such device or address"
Thanks

crash API?
by James Washer
I'm back with another wild question.
There are often times I'd like to use crash more as a library than a
utility. I've plaid with using "expect" routines, but find them rather
clumsy.
Has there ever been any discussion of a crash library or other API where
I might have the niceties of crash with a clean interface...
perhaps something along the lines of
crash=crash::open(kernel,dump)
crash->bt(pid)
crash->rd(address, length)
etc..
thanks

Determining values of arguments and local variable in x86_64 crash dumps
by James Washer
I've always determined the values of locals and parameters/arguments the
hard way, i.e. by looking at the disassembly and determining where the
values are stored, etc.
I do note however that gdb is pretty damned good at "reading" variables
for user programs, which prompts me to ask.. why cannot we do this in
crash? (Perhaps we can and I'm just missing something)
Assuming that crash cannot locate locals/args, is there any chance crash
might (someday) determine where a register is spilled higher up the
stack frame?
Yes, I realize this is all wishlist stuff.. but it cannot hurt to ask
(can it?)
