the only vmlinuz is in /usr/lib/modules/<version>/vmlinuz.xz and it seems to work somehow, but not good enough. crash starts with "--minimal", but I would at least have wanted to do a "bt full" or such (my crash usage is rusty, has been years since I did kernel debugging stuff ;-)) and that's not available with --minimal :-( crash> bt full crash: bt: command not available in minimal mode NOTE: minimal mode commands: log, dis, rd, sym, eval, set, extend and exit For my knowledge level, the --minimal commands are pretty useless, the log (dmesg) is the same as posted earlier.
