That's fixed upstream. You'll have to download the crash sources from github and
build the latest and greatest.

Hi Dave,
I have /proc/kcore. But I'm getting 'cannot resolve 'init_level4_pgt'
error.

[root@gt-Server2-gmt proc]#
But I believe this is fixed in crash 7.2. I have raised one issue against CoreOS to make
crash 7.2 to be available in toolbox
packages(https://github.com/coreos/bugs/issues/2347).
Meanwhile, Is there any workaround for this ?

To run live, you need either /dev/mem, /proc/kcore, or the /dev/crash driver. You could
try "crash vmlinux /proc/kcore" to see if it's available. If not, you could
try building the /dev/crash driver module. But I don't know if CoreOS offers a
kernel-devel package that you could build the driver against? The driver source comes
with the crash source package in the memory_driver subdirectory.

Re: [Crash-utility] linux_banner has garbage
Hi Dave,
When trying to run crash live, I'm getting an error saying that /dev/mem is not
available.I'm running crash from toolbox in a CoreOS VM. Is crash designed to run from
a container ?

Thanks for the info Dave.Unfortunately, I cannot run crash live on the machine because the
VM is in hung state right now. After resetting the VM(by tomorrow), will check for KASLR
and phys_base and try the suggested option.

It would have been helpful to see the full crash -d# log, but I'm
presuming
that the utsname data and the
cpus_[possible/present/online/active]_mask
output
that gets displayed just before the linux_banner output are also
nonsensical?
Typically this kind of problem is because phys_base cannot be
determined,
or if KASLR is enabled, the KASLR offset cannot be determined. Those
two
items are encoded into the dumpfile header for kdump dumpfiles, but
there
is no such information in a vmms dumpfile header.
Can you run crash live on the machine? You can see whether the
phys_base
and KASLR offset are non-zero on the live system by entering:
crash> help -m | grep phys_base
phys_base: 129800000
crash> help -k | grep relocate
relocate: ffffffffcf400000 (KASLR offset: 30c00000 / 780MB)
> crash If relocate is 0 (KASLR not enabled), then the phys_base value can
be applied to your vmcore by entering, for example, "--machdep
phys_base=780m"
on the crash command line (using your phys_base).
Sorry, my mistake -- it would be "--machdep phys_base=129800000".
