crash: read error on type: "memory section root table"

Hello,

Sorry to cross post on both ML, I'm not sure which one would be the most suitable.

Issue on analysis with crash-7.3.1 on a Centos 8 machine: 
crash: read error: kernel virtual address: ffff8f4fff7fc000  type: "memory section root table"

Crash machine has a Rocky Linux 8.5 based kernel with following config options:
- CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE=y
- CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY=y
- CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_MANUAL=y
- CONFIG_SPARSEMEM=y
- CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME=y
- CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_ENABLE=y
- CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
- CONFIG_KEXEC=y
- CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y

Kexec-tools package is from Centos Stream repo: kexec-tools-2.0.20-68.el8.2.5ale.x86_64

/proc/vmcore is packaged with : 
/sbin/makedumpfile -D -d 0 -c --message-level 15 /proc/vmcore /tmpd/crashdump-${linux_ver}-${date_time}

At kernel panic, I get:
Dumping memory to crash partition
This may take a while, please wait...
makedumpfile: version 1.7.0 (released on 8 Nov 2021)
command line: /sbin/makedumpfile -D -d 0 -c --message-level 15 /proc/vmcore /tmpd/crashdump--20220329-1538

And latest logs from a 'crash -d 7' command are:

crash: read error: kernel virtual address: ffff8f4fff7fc000  type: "memory section root table"

The address (ffff8f4fff7fc000) seems to be inside the LOAD[4] range and is recorded as 'mem_section' with VMCOREINFO.
What's wrong ? Where should I look at ?
Thanks.
Best regards,
Patrick Agrain
