Dave,
I rebuilt 6.1.0 crash as you had suggested.
# file /RedHat/crash-6.1.0-X86/crash
/RedHat/crash-6.1.0-X86/crash: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV),
for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, not
stripped
I then ran it against the dump. I got the following error messages.
# /RedHat/crash-6.1.0-X86/crash vmlinux-2.6.5-7.321-bigsmp dump-pts02504
...
crash: vmlinux-2.6.5-7.321-bigsmp: no debugging data available
I tried again with additional System.map but got the same error.

Dave,
On both RHEL 5.2 X64 and RHEL 5.5 X64, it showed: (Additional
argument such as System.map does not make any difference.)
# crash vmlinux-2.6.5-7.321-bigsmp dump-pts02504

WARNING: machine type mismatch:
crash utility: X86_64
vmlinux-2.6.5-7.321-bigsmp: X86
crash: vmlinux-2.6.5-7.321-bigsmp: not a supported file format
Right, as the message states, you're trying to analyze a 32-bit
x86 vmlinux/vmcore with the x86_64 version of the crash utility.
So just get the 32-bit x86 crash utility. If you can't find
one, then you can try building one on your x86_64 host:
$ wget http://people.redhat.com/anderson/crash-6.1.4.tar.gz
...
$ cd crash-6.1.4
$ make target=X86
...
$ ./crash vmlinux-2.6.5-7.321-bigsmp dump-pts02504
If the build fails, you can wget the crash-6.1.4-0.src.rpm
file from the same location, and the rpmbuild -ba will alert
you to the additional packages you need.

What is the mismatch error message?

New subject: SLES 9 Dump
You have to pass System.map since this vmlinux is not debug enabled. I
never used crash to analyze lkcd dumps, but as Dave said, it is possible.
Otherwise why can't you use lcrash shipped in this distro since you are
analyzing SLES9 dumps anyway.
Thanks

I think years ago we built-in the "-k" option for kerntypes. Perhaps
that can help:
# crash -k System.map dump-pts02504 Kerntypes-2.6.5-7.321-bigsmp
