Hello,

I haven't been able to open a crashdump generated by 'dump-guest-memory
-z' option. When I run crash -d10 vmlinux dump.img last thing I get is:

kaslr_helper: failed to determine which kernel was running at crash,
kaslr_helper: asssuming the kdump 1st kernel.
calc_kaslr_offset: kaslr_offset=ffffffff9ba00810
calc_kaslr_offset: phys_base=19a5ff7f0

That kernel has RANDOMIZE_BASE set to y

I get same error when I take an image dump of a kernel booted with
nokaslr.

My crash is freshly compiled, with HEAD commit : 915cc069ec03 x86_64:
Perform EFRAME_VERIFY always if set in x86_64_exception_frame (7 weeks
ago) <David Mair>
