Operating Systems Linux Red Hat [RHEL6]Uncompress vmlinuz to vmlinux Post 302534544 by Chrisdot on Tuesday 28th of June 2011 06:45:37 AM

[RHEL6]Uncompress vmlinuz to vmlinux

Hi, I cannot uncompress it using standard command:

Code:
od -A d -t x1 vmlinuz | grep '1f 8b 08 00'
dd if=vmlinuz bs=1 skip=24584 | zcat > vmlinux

> gzip: stdin: not in gzip format

(of course 24584 is output from 1st command + 8)

I try to do it with:
vmlinuz-2.6.32-131.4.1.el6.x86_64
vmlinuz-2.6.32-131.4.1.el6.x86_64.debug

Have you got any idea how I can uncompress that?

Also, output from 'file vmlinuz-2.6.32-131.4.1.el6.x86_64' is:
Code:
Linux kernel x86 boot executable bzImage, version 2.6.32-131.4.1.el6.x86_64 (mock, RO-rootFS, root_dev 0x901, swap_dev 0x3, Normal VGA

PS. I just need vmlinux to debug kernel module.
