Sorry for the late reply ... :)

I hacked a patch that does that dynamically. The issue is that
lkcd's lcrash _doesn't_ have that problem because it reads all offsets
of that structure dynamically from kerntypes (the kernel has the same
structures) while crash does that statically.

However, that patch at least works for both SLES-10 and SLES-9 kernels
on IA-64 (I don't know why the position of dha_kernel_addr was
changed, sorry :)) and is better than recompiling crash. Maybe it also
helps you. It will be included at least in openSUSE 10.3 packages.


Regards,
  Bernhard
