I spent two day in googgle to seek this problem, and found somethings:
--------------------------------------
1. acording to "man crash":
namelist
This is a pathname to an uncompressed kernel image (a vmlinux file) that has been compiled with the "-g" option, or that has an accessible, associated
In my opinion,I think that "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4" was not compiled with the "-g" option, So result of command:
$ crash -s System.map-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4
is:
"crash: vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4: not support a file format?"
2. I found a white paper about crash:
http://people.redhat.com/anderson/crash_whitepaper/
and then install kernel-debuginfo for Fedora 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4. As a result, I have uncompressed kernel image file:
/usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4/vmlinux
I try to run command:
$ crash
but it also did not work:
crash: /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4/vmlinux /dev/crash do not match.
In fact: /dev/crash does not exist
3. Try to another way:
3.1 list all symbols in vmlinux:
$ nm -Bn /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4/vmlinux
then we can get all symbols in file: /proc/kallsyms
(we can check it by: $ cat /proc/kallsyms)
3.2 try to run command again:
$ crash /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4/vmlinux /proc/kallsyms
but it did not work . The result is:
crash: not found "_End"
4. I don't know how to run this command in my PC . Can anyone help me?
