Hello all, I've upgraded my Centos 8 VM to the latest kernel (4.18.0-193.6.3.el8_2.x86_64). I have then installed the kernel-debug packages (and dependencies), as suggested below. Now, I have following kernels in /boot: - vmlinuz-4.18.0-193.6.3.el8_2.x86_64 - vmlinuz-4.18.0-193.6.3.el8_2.x86_64+debug And a vmlinuz file in /lib/modules/4.18.0-193.6.3.el8_2.x86_64+debug Then, I reboot the VM on this latest kernel and extracted the vmlinux files with the extract-vmlinux script from a CentOS 4.18.0 kernel source tree. A last, the 'echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger' creates the /var/crash/vmcore file. Exporting the vmcore, vmlinux-4.18.0-193.6.3.el8_2.x86_64+debug and vmlinux (from /lib/modules) on another CentOS machine and executing: /usr/bin/crash -d 15 vmlinux-4.18.0-193.6.3.el8_2.x86_64+debug vmcore returns: crash: vmlinux-4.18.0-193.6.3.el8_2.x86_64+debug: no .gnu_debuglink section Note: same result when using the exported vmlinux from /lib/modules directory. Still not driving me nut... but not far away... To be continued... Thanks.

(1) The original CentOS 8 kernel (2) The kernel you built If it's (1), you can just install the kernel-debuginfo package corresponding to the original CentOS 8 kernel into the machine on which you want to analyze vmcores and execute: # crash /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/4.18.0-147.el8.x86_64/vmlinux vmcore If it's (2), you need to boot the VM with the kernel and make a crash. Could you check this first?
