Hello,
I'm trying to debug an issue using crash. I've moved the vmcore file over to a
system other than the system from which the dump was collected. I've installed
a variety of debug rpms including the kernel-debuginfo, kernel-debug-debuginfo,
glib-debuginfo, and kernel-debuginfo-common. I've also copied the lib/modules
from the test system to mine.
When I run the command "p hba" it returns:
Crash > p hba
Hba = $2 = 778764288 (please ignore the uppercase, stupid mail client)
I expect to see something like:
Hba = $1 = {0x102170b0000, 0x0, 0x0,..., 0x0}
Why is that? Do I need to be running crash on the test system itself? I thought
all relevant info would be contained in the vmcore file and I could attempt the
analysis on any system?.
The crash version command returns version = $3 = v0.25941.
My running kernel is 2.6.18-prep. /etc/issue reports rhel5.5.
The kernel on the test system is 2.6.18-164.el5. That is also the version of
the debug packages I installed as well as the vmlinux file I'm using. Any
problems mixing and matching like that? I have not rebooted my system since
installing the debug packages but that doesn't seem necessary. Thanks in
advance.
