Description: kernel debugging utility, allowing gdb like syntax
15
15
The core analysis suite is a self-contained tool that can be used to
16
investigate either live systems, LKCD (Linux Kernel Crash Dumps) and Red Hat
17
Netdump and Diskdump core dumps.
19
For complete LKCD crash dump support you will need the LKCD kernel patch,
20
dumputils, and a debugger that can be used to analyze the crash, such as the
21
"lcrash" or "crash" (this package) packages.
16
investigate either live systems, or multiple different core dump formats
17
including kdump, LKCD, netdump and diskdump.
