Never seen that. The archive is normally produce when you gather data and it contains a copy of all kernel modules. Sometimes if the archive is not present you can generate it using er_archive.
If you move a .er directory between 2 system you might want to check the archive is present (each kernel module generates 2 files in there and I don't know much more than that about them). If the module is not in the archive I think the tool will use the module on the system running analyzer and that the disassembly might well be wrong then. I'll be off-net for 2 weeks, so analyzer-team can pick this up. -r Le 14 juil. 07 ? 16:00, Cathy Zhou a ?crit : > Hi Roch, > > [ You are the person I think who might know the answer.
