Hi Tao,
Thanks for your reply, 
1) Try to drop the "-S" of crash cmdline to see if it works.
I have tried without -S,  it was broken by another issue, the crash reported an error :
_note_9: st_name: 1692 st_value: ffffffffc04d747c st_shndx: 22 st_info: ?
__this_module: st_name: 1700 st_value: ffffffffc04d8380 st_shndx: 29 st_info: ?

crash: per_cpu_symbol_search(per_cpu__runqueues): NULL
crash: cannot determine idle task addresses from init_tasks[] or runqueues[]
crash: cannot resolve "init_task_union"
2) If not, then please try to disable the kernel kaslr at bootup by
appending "nokaslr" to kernel cmdline, and invoke crash as your
original way.
After append the "nokaslr" to kernel command line, the crash without -S still
report "crash: cannot resolve "init_task_union"
But with "-S" parameter, crash can enter the CLI as normal.
So, regarding the behavior, when without -S, the crash report "crash: cannot resolve
"init_task_union"", this should 
not related to kaslr, right?  If so, is that means missing kernel configuration/patch or
gdb needs a special version?
The current kernel is 6.1 stable, gdb version is 10.2.
Thanks,
Br,
Xiangyu

 Hi Crash-utility folks,
 Recently, I am using crash to debug a live system.
 When I execute the crash, it cannot enter the crash cmd shell, it was broken by crash
seek error.
 My kernel turned on the CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE, and I added the kaslr=auto parameter to
crash.
 If I disable the CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE, the issue has gone.
 Could you please help to check if any config/parameter I was missing? Thanks.
 The following is my system information:
 crash version: 8.0.6
 kernel version: 6.1.118
 Host system: qemux86-64
 Here is the full log with -d:
 root@intel-x86-64:/boot# crash -S /boot/vmlinux-6.1.118-yocto-standard /proc/kcore -d10
--kaslr=auto
 
1) Try to drop the "-S" of crash cmdline to see if it works.
2) If not, then please try to disable the kernel kaslr at bootup by
appending "nokaslr" to kernel cmdline, and invoke crash as your

Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Tao Liu
