Re: [Crash-utility] crash and makedumpfile with 5.3 missing memory in dump
----- Original Message -----
Hi,
[I'm not sure if that is a crash or mkdumpfile problem]
I'm trying to use crash to read a makedumpfile vmcore from 5.3, but I always
end up with an error when opening the dump.
I'm using the latest github crash
crash 7.2.7++
...

The dump is created with the latest makedumpfile release
makedumpfile: version 1.6.6 (released on 27 Jun 2019)
It complains that it doesn't support the kernel
Any ideas?

Yeah, I'm not sure either. I've tested the github crash on kernels up to
5.4-rc5,
but only running on a live system. Given that the errors indicate "page
excluded",
it looks like makedumpfile 1.6.6 may not cover 5.4 kernels. The makedumpfile git
log's master branch shows these as the last two commits:
