I tried again using kerntypes and it failed with a different error.

crash: cannot resolve "_stext"
Eugene
Try putting *both* the System.map file (required for _stext) and
the Kerntypes file (required for debuginfo data) on the command
line.
If there is really no "_stext" symbol in the System.map file, then
you're screwed. Although, I would have presumed that it could get
the _stext symbol from the stripped vmlinux file. If you do
"nm -Bn vmlinux", does it show an _stext symbol?

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.
