Ah, OK, so the "-x vmlinux" references above could be
substituted with "-i config_file".
I'm still curious whether:
(1) the "de-flattening" step could be easily ported to the
crash utility so it could be made to read the flattened
format file.
(2) there can be another option to create an ELF vmcore file
from a compressed dumpfile, so that gdb can be used if
necessary.
Thanks,
Dave
