Dave I am seeing a similar problem to Badari, however in my case I am 
running the kernel built with -g.
I can run crash live fine. But running on a vmcore I get the following 
error.

deimos:/var/log/dump/2006-05-02-13:10 # ~/crash-4.0-2.24/crash 
/usr/src/linux/vmlinux ./vmcore

Wilder vmlist = 0xc00000000fa26940
crash: read error: kernel virtual address: c00000000fa26940 type: "first 
vmlist
addr"

Errors like the one above typically occur when the kernel and memory source
do not match. These are the files being used:

KERNEL: /usr/src/linux/vmlinux
DUMPFILE: ./vmcore


--
When I check System.map for vmlist or do a "nm vmlinux | grep vmlist" I 
get a different number than shown above.
I tried specifying the System.map file on the command line but no 
difference.
