I booted 3 times with no problems (without serial console on the
dump-capture kernel), then I added a serial console to that kernel
and got lots of problems.  They all seem to be OOM problems, then
the kernel gives up and falls over.  (log attached)


d.  Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt mentions an option to produce
ELF32 headers instead of 64-bit headers:  --elf32-core-headers.
Where is this option used?  I.e., what program recognizes it?
kdump.txt isn't telling me this info and I can't read it between
the lines.


Thanks.
