Through some more research and several email responses, I discovered the following: I needed to create a profile and compile the volatility-2.2/tools/linux modules: http://code.google.com/p/volatility/wiki/LinuxMemoryForensics but first, using Ubuntu that I had, needed to fix a known bug - http://code.google.com/p/volatility/issues/detail?id=351 Once that compiled and I followed the rest of the steps for a Linux-specific profile, magical results with no limitations. Thanks to all. Scott
