Hi Dave,
"crash xen-syms vmcore" works fine. Thank you !
BTW,
I think xendumps of fully-virtualized x86/x86_64 (also ia64) kernel
have a magic number XC_CORE_MAGIC_HVM(0xF00FEBEE) which is defferent
from para-virtualized. Please check.
I tried a xendump of fully-virtualized ia64 kernel
with change magic number check as follows.
---
xendump.h
+#define XC_CORE_MAGIC_HVM 0xF00FEBEE
xendump.c
- if (xcp->xch_magic != XC_CORE_MAGIC)
+ if (xcp->xch_magic != XC_CORE_MAGIC && xcp->xch_magic !=
XC_CORE_MAGIC_HVM)

It works well execpt bt problem same as para-virtualized one.
Thanks.

Hi Oda-san,
Ah, OK -- we (Red Hat) are still using an older version of the
xenctrl library from (3.0.3), and it uses the old XC_CORE_MAGIC.
So I didn't see any difference between para- and fully-virtualized
magic numbers; I would guess that the difference is a change in
the library as opposed to para- vs fully-virtualized xendumps?
Here's my fully-virtualized x86_64 dump header:

Anyway, I'm happy that everything still works with the new
magic number -- and whatever else might have changed with it.
Also, I appreciate your verification that crash works with
ia64 fully-virtualized xendumps (with your magic number fix).
I'll update the crash package to support the new magic value.
Thanks again,
Dave
