Hi Dave,
Here the symptom description:
Backtraces (e.g. bt -a) for active tasks that execute I/O or machine check
interrupts are not printed and for "normal" task backtraces ugly messages like
"bt: invalid kernel virtual address: 100000180000088 type:
"readmem_ul""
are shown.
Michael
Thanks Michael -- queued for crash-7.1.2:
