get_live_memory_source: /dev/mem
WARNING: ./vmlinux and /proc/version do not match!

WARNING: /proc/version indicates kernel version: 3.0.15+

crash: please use the vmlinux file for that kernel version, or try using
       the System.map for that kernel version as an additional argument.

If I include system.map
it exits with
'can not open secondary temp[orary file"
void
open_tmpfile2(void)
{
        if (pc->tmpfile2)
                error(FATAL, "recursive secondary temporary file usage\n");

        rewind(pc->tmpfile2);
}
