The idea that I'm following is to keep crashdc generic so it can be used
on the cmdline and used in an automated fashion.  The run-*.sh are where
distro specific stuff gets put in (i.e. location of the dump directory,
debuginfo files etc). This is the script that is invoked by the kdump
mechanism.

Right now, it's working relatively well on RHEL5. SLES10 is not working
: crash just hangs after invoking gdb when executed from within the
kexec kernel. I will probably come back to you with some queries on that
later (with debugging info).

As for SLES11, the kdump mechanism has changed quite a lot so I must do
some more work on this, but I'm hoping to have something working soon.

As soon as I get something relatively stable, I'll propose a patch.

Thanks very much,

Kind Regards,
