Looking through the changelog, I saw that the 'tss_struct ist

problem on 8-CPU systems had been addressed previously. However, I'm
running into this issue on an AMD server with crash 4.0-4.1 and RHEL4
Update 5 (2.6.9-55.Elsmp).
The output from the crash invocation is the following:

crash: seek error: kernel virtual address: 10408119e84 type:
"tss_struct ist array"

The server is a 4 dual-core AMD (2.8GHz) with 64GB.
Any insights into how best to troubleshoot this are much appreciated.
Thanks,

I doubt this has anything to do with the 8-cpu issue.
A few questions:
Is this an RHEL4 derivative kernel of some kind? I ask
because you're using a system.map file as an argument.
Anyway, this dumpfile is Egenera's LKCD off-shoot, correct?
Since you got an "lseek" error, the question is whether (1) the
virtual address of 10408119e84 is legitimate, and (2) whether
it is included in your dumpfile.
What does "crash -d7 ..." show?
Does crash work on the live system?
