In general, crash doesn't support cross-platform usage. That is to say, if you want to

look at a PPC dump, you need to do it on a PPC machine, using a crash that was

built on a PPC machine.

This is not, strictly speaking, an inherent limitation. I've got a version of crash that

can handle MIPS dumps, and I build and run this version of crash on an x86 system.

While I was at it, I added the capability of building an x86 version of crash on an x86_64

system, but Dave A. hasn't seemed interested in picking up such changes.

Hi ,

I have a crash-dump generated on PPC using diskdump .
Can this crash-dump be analyzed using crash-utility running on a x86_64
machine ?

Thanks and regards
Vivek
