You should be able to make kdump work on a dkloaded system, provided you
didn't delete the files in /tmp that dkload created. One of the first
two arguments to dkload let it use the name table from a file other than
/vmunix. Specify /tmp/kload (I think that was the name) instead of
/vmunix and it should be able to read the info it needs.
For modloaded systems, you need to add the modload '-sym' option to your
start-up scripts, then specify the name of the output file on the kdump
command, just like dkload.
If you want to run kdump after a panic, use something like 'kdump
vmunix.0 vmcore.0 -mem'. The kdump '-mem' option is required and similar
to the dbx '-k' option.
