If you use lcrash with a live system, vmlinux is okay. But
if you examine a saved crash dump, you need the System.map of the kernel
which is running when panic occurred. You can retrieve symbol
information from vmlinux, but current vmdump command saves only System.map.

Am I missing something too :-)
