The initramfs mounts the whole root FS so both crash & vmlinux are
available. This is a main difference with SLES where the root FS is
mounted under /root while we're in the kexec kernel so some path reorg
is needed in order to access the files.

I also need to tell SLES11's kdump to load crash, gdb & a few other
things to make it work. This is my current task.

But right now, my RHEL version is almost working :-)

Kind Regards & good weekend,
