[Koornstra, Reinoud]

Hi Everyone,

I am just trying load a kernel and System.map file into crash.

crash  vmlinux System.map

I get:

crash: vmlinux: no debugging data available

However, the System.map file reads fine and "nm vmlinux" shows the symbols as well.
A side note that this is a linux 2.4 kernel.
Is linux 2.4 not supported or what am I doing wrong?
Thanks,

Reinoud.
