Hi,

In reference to bug : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=233151

I have the same problem trying to analyze a vmss.core file with kernel v4.4.0-36-generic (Ubuntu) :

crash: /usr/lib/debug/boot/vmlinux-4.4.0-36-generic and /var/vmss_m.core do not match!

I also tried with the following (as recommended in the bug threads) without success :
--machdep phys_base=0x200000

I'm using the right -dbgsym for the right kernel as confirmed here :

$ strings vmss_m.core | grep "Linux version"
Linux version 4.4.0-36-generic (buildd@lgw01-20) (gcc version 4.8.4 (Ubuntu 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04.3) ) #55~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 12 11:49:30 UTC 2016 (Ubuntu 4.4.0-36.55~14.04.1-generic 4.4.16)

$ readelf -a vmss_m.core

The VirtAddr and PhysAddr are just zero.

I tried with the latest and greatest crash-utility from [https://github.com/crash-utility/crash.git] using version 7.1.5++ but this has no effect, I still have the error :

crash: /usr/lib/debug/boot/vmlinux-4.4.0-36-generic and /var/vmss_m.core do not match!

Any ideas ?
