[Crash-utility] (no subject)

Hello again, I sent this yesterday but since I wasn't a member maybe it didn't go anywhere. Hello, I'm trying to debug an issue using crash. I've moved the vmcore file over to a system other than the system from which the dump was collected. I've installed a variety of debug rpms including the kernel-debuginfo, kernel-debug-debuginfo, glib-debuginfo, and kernel-debuginfo-common. I've also copied the lib/modules from the test system to mine. When I run the command "p hba" it returns: Crash > p hba Hba = $2 = 778764288 (please ignore the uppercase, stupid mail client) I expect to see something like: Hba = $1 = {0x102170b0000, 0x0, 0x0,..., 0x0} Why is that? Do I need to be running crash on the test system itself? I thought all relevant info would be contained in the vmcore file and I could attempt the analysis on any system?. The crash version command returns version = $3 = v0.25941. My running kernel is 2.6.18-prep. /etc/issue reports rhel5.5. The kernel on the test system is 2.6.18-164.el5. That is also the version of the debug packages I installed as well as the vmlinux file I'm using. Any problems mixing and matching like that? I have not rebooted my system since installing the debug packages but that doesn't seem necessary. Thanks in advance. -- mikem
