I tried with the system map, but it did not help, still got the same error.

I am pretty sure I didn't recompile after installing the kernel, see:
$ ll /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35.3-saber /usr/src/linux-2.6.35.3/arch/x86 
/boot/bzImage vmcore.201008232109
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3982336 Aug 23 21:03 /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35.3-saber
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3982336 Aug 23 21:02 
/usr/src/linux-2.6.35.3/arch/x86/boot/bzImage
-r-------- 1 root root 995686196 Aug 23 21:10 vmcore.201008232109

I also tried many times with many crashdumps and it never seemed to 
work. Could the stripping or bzImage'ing change something?
I would try directly the vmlinux kernel, but it's over 120MB and my boot 
partition is smaller than that.
Maybe there's some kernel options that change something in the bzImaged 
vmlinux?
