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:

[PATCH] Support newer kernels up to v5.1
A new makedumpfile supports newer kernels:
- 4.20, 5.0, 5.1 (x86 FLATMEM)
- 4.20, 5.0, 5.1 (x86 SPARSEMEM)
- 4.20, 5.0, 5.1 (x86_64 SPARSEMEM)

Hello,
Kazuhito Hagio asked me to share my test results on this patch for
makedumpfile :
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__sourceforge.net_p_makedumpfile_code_ci_7bdb468c2c99dd780c9a5321f93c79cbfdce2527_&d=DwIGaQ&c=RoP1YumCXCgaWHvlZYR8PZh8Bv7qIrMUB65eapI_JnE&r=t2fPg9D87F7D8jm0_3CG9yoiIKdRg4qc_thBw4bzMhc&m=RRTWEGpecudcCrNL7TSmV5r2eIO7t_VrYruNXGGFhUE&s=BlcGeqwro6opkCKG9utpl8jfwoHMehRzt_V0nGz1fk4&e=
And I was successfully able to get vmcore dumps on vmlinuz-5.3.6 and
5.4.0-rc3 Intel ( x86-64) kernels.
Also I was able to use crash
7.2.6-2.el8
to review the dump. I didn't do a lot of crash comamnds but it did
process the vmcore
