You would need kernel 4.19-rc5 or above as the same exposes VMCOREINFO as '/proc/kcore'. If you are having issues while switching to newer kernel, please share the output(s) of following on your platform: # kexec -p /boot/vmlinuz-`uname -r` --initrd=/boot/initramfs-`uname -r`.img --reuse-cmdline -d and, # readelf -l vmcore and, # cat /proc/iomem And then I can suggest a hack, which you can try and test on your platform and then we can take it forward from there.
