Am I not supposed to be able to run crash on a 64-bit host,
on a vmcore generated on a 32-bit host?
This core was generated on a 32-bit RHEL5:
$ file vmcore-2007-11-26-04-08-14
vmcore-2007-11-26-04-08-14: ELF 64-bit LSB core file Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV),
SVR4-style
And on my 64-bit RHEL5 I get:
$ crash /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.6.el5PAE/vmlinux
vmcore-2007-11-26-04-08-14
crash 4.0-4.6.1
<snip>
crash: vmcore-2007-11-26-04-08-14: not a supported file format
And the vmlinux I'm pointing at is the right 32-bit one:
$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.6.el5PAE/vmlinux --queryformat
'%{arch}\n'
i686
