Hi!
I'm having problems getting kdumps from my relocatable kernel (2.6.31-8)
working with crash on a IA-32 board. I use makedumpfile to generate a
compressed dump, and when I try to load it with crash I get
./crash vmlinux vmcore --reloc=0x100000
crash: invalid kernel virtual address: 98 type: "present"
WARNING: cannot read cpu_present_map
crash: invalid kernel virtual address: 908bd975 type: "online"
WARNING: cannot read cpu_online_map
crash: cannot determine base kernel version
crash: vmlinux and vmcore do not match!
specifying --reloc also fails:
./crash vmlinux vmcore --reloc=0x100000
crash: seek error: kernel virtual address: c01a2108 type: "cpu_possible_mask"
So I started looking into the code and found something which looks like
a typo in relocate() (patch below). Changing this makes crash work for
me.
Great tool by the way, leaves you longing for the next kernel panic ;-)
