I'm using XenSource 4.0 and have the need to debug the
XenSource-provided hypervisor's coredump file produce at /proc/vmcore.
I tried using Anderson's "crash" utility to read that file but I'm
getting the following error:
crash ./vmlinuz /dom0/proc/vmcore
crash 4.0-4.7

crash: /dom0/proc/vmcore: not a supported file format
I examined the core file and this is what it says its type is.
#file /dom0/proc/vmcore
/dom0/proc/vmcore: ELF 64-bit LSB core file AMD x86-64, version 1
(SYSV), SVR4-style
1) Has anyone been able to use 'crash' with XenSource's kernels?
2) What is the right vmcore file format for an open-source Xen? Can
someone show me the output of 'file' on their vmcore so I can compare?
Thank you in advance!
Roger Cruz
