You can reproduce this issue via :
1. compile the Linux v6.4 or later version with Kdump support
2. generate the vmcore file via sysrq-trigger
3. start the Crash (crash-utility/crash:master) with namelist(vmlinux)
and vmcore with optional "-d" option
Crash would boot failed with some incorrect infos (like: empty
cpu_*_mask,utsname ) and some error like:
`crash: read error: kernel virtual address: ffffffff80ecb498 type:
"linux_banner"`
