To get crash version 4.0-4.11 to run against that particular dumpfile, it needs to know the kernel's "phys_base" relocation value. And I don't know how (or if it's even possible) to get it from a fully-virtualized Xen guest dumpfile. However, if you run crash on the live on the kernel that panicked, you can determine it. So running live on kernel-2.6.24-0.62.rc3.git5.fc9 I see: crash> help -m | grep phys_base phys_base: ffffffffff200000 crash> ...which in turn can be used as a command line argument for the xendump dumpfile from that kernel. So taking the sample dumpfile you gave me: # crash --machdep phys_base=0xffffffffff200000 vmlinux vmcore-rawhide.xmdump crash 4.0-4.11 Copyright (C) 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 Red Hat, Inc.
