Use ktrace to get more information.

ktrace commandname

kdump | less

Jump to the end, and look through the calls for error messages.

A popular one, unsupported in 1.4.1, but supported in -current,
is 'clone unimplemented' - a newer Linux syscall. That's not the

other options you might not have in the kernel you're running.

If it's not obvious, send me the last 2-3 pages of kdump's output.
