Re: [Crash-utility] Crash fails to analyse kernel dump from 4.2-rc4
----- Original Message -----
Hi all,
I updated my kernel to 4.2-rc4 but suddenly crash failed to analyse the
kernel with the following error message:
------
crash: invalid kernel virtual address: 170000001d type: "possible"
WARNING: cannot read cpu_possible_map
crash: invalid kernel virtual address: 3800000046 type: "present"
WARNING: cannot read cpu_present_map
crash: invalid kernel virtual address: 240000002d type: "online"
WARNING: cannot read cpu_online_map
crash: invalid kernel virtual address: 570000006e type: "active"
WARNING: cannot read cpu_active_map
crash: cannot determine base kernel version
crash: /home/adam/linux-btrfs/vmlinux and vmcore do not match!
------
Crash 7.1.0 and 7.1.2 fails with the same error.
Previously I'm testing 4.2-rc1 kernel and 7.1.0 works like a charm.
So is there something wrong with the new kernel?
Thanks,
Qu
The most recent kernel version I've tested is Fedora's
4.2.0-0.rc4.git1.1.fc23.x86_64,
although I'm not sure how that version correlates with upstream 4.2-rc1. It is based
upon linux-4.1.tar.xz with a bunch of patches. Here is a live system session with the
Fedora version of crash:

Can you run on the live system? If so, it's most likely an issue with
the vmcore.
Post the output of "crash -d8 vmlinux vmcore". The debug output may
yield some clues.
