[lkcd-devel] Error: unable to create crash report

[Shuveb H. <sh...@gm...>]

 Hi,

Thanks for the great software first.
However, I'm stuck with a system that uses a 2.4 kernel. The exact
version is 2.4.21. I used the lkcd-2.4.20 patch and modified it to
patch with 2.4.21 without issues.  It compiled, when crashed
intentionally,  dumped to swap well. During reboot however,  when
trying to dump back to /var/log/dump/0, the "lcrash -r" command
involed from "lkcd save" fails. The version of the utils I'm using is
4.1-1. Is that the issue?

So, I copied the map, dump and kerntypes to another sysem and tried to
run the "lcrash -r map.0 dump.0 kerntypes.0" command. This time
around, I got an "invalid address mapping" error. This has left me
confused. On this system, running Redhat 9.0, I compiled lkcdutils
from source.

When I compile the utils from source, does the lkcd patched kernel (or
the same version without a patch) need to be there at /usr/src/linux?
What version of the lkcdutils am I supposed to use with the 2.4.20
patch?

Please help! :-D

TIA.
