Right, as the message states, you're trying to analyze a 32-bit
x86 vmlinux/vmcore with the x86_64 version of the crash utility.

So just get the 32-bit x86 crash utility.  If you can't find
one, then you can try building one on your x86_64 host:

 $ wget http://people.redhat.com/anderson/crash-6.1.4.tar.gz
 ...
 $ cd crash-6.1.4
 $ make target=X86
 ...
 $ ./crash vmlinux-2.6.5-7.321-bigsmp dump-pts02504 

If the build fails, you can wget the crash-6.1.4-0.src.rpm
file from the same location, and the rpmbuild -ba will alert
you to the additional packages you need.
