With the dump-capture kernel, you can access the memory image, or "old
memory," in two ways:
- Through a /dev/oldmem device interface. A capture utility can read the
device file and write out the memory in raw format. This is a raw dump
of memory. Analysis and capture tools must be intelligent enough to
determine where to look for the right information.
- Through /proc/vmcore. This exports the dump as an ELF-format file that
you can write out using file copy commands such as cp or scp. Further,
you can use analysis tools such as the GNU Debugger (GDB) and the Crash
tool to debug the dump file. This method ensures that the dump pages are
correctly ordered.

You can also access dumped memory as a /dev/oldmem device for a linear
and raw view. To create the device, use the following command:
mknod /dev/oldmem c 1 12
Use the dd command with suitable options for count, bs, and skip to
access specific portions of the dump.
To see the entire memory, use the following command:
dd if=/dev/oldmem of=oldmem.001
