Hello all,

I am having problem with my new 10.6 x86_64 mac. I did setup a dump machine for with kdumpd I setup the nvram on my x86_64 machine to properly dump on Panic boot-args debug=0xd44 _panicd_ip=10.16.1.236

I am able to panic the machine and I seem to be getting a valid dump but when I try running gdb on it it give me all these errors like the dump was not valid.

Note I use the same setup for my ppc and i368 mac and it does work fine.
