Subject: kdump/kexec/crash on vmcore file

Hi, all.  This is my first attempt to troubleshoot a kernel panic so I
am quite newbie in this area. I have been able to obtain a kdump when
my box had kernel panic.

I set up Kdump and Kexec and then the captured/crash kernel to boot
into Level 1 and then copy /proc/vmcore file to the disk for later
analysis.  However, after the server booted back to Level 3 and I
utilized the crash command to analyzed the vmcore file.  I got error
message:

./crash /boot/vmlinux ../vmcore.test


crash: read error: kernel virtual address: ffffffff8123d1e0  type:
"kernel_config_data"
WARNING: cannot read kernel_config_data
crash: read error: kernel virtual address: ffffffff813b5180  type: "xtime"

I installed the lastest crash software 4.0-3.6.   I googled left and
right but nothing has turned up useful.

Thank you for all the helps and hints.

My box is dual Xeon 3.2 GHz, 4 GBs of PC2700 DDR2 and run CentOS 4.3
with kernel
