Research direction
Start in /framework/automagic/pdbscan.py at determine_valid_kernel and reproduce the PagedInvalidAddressException described in the issue. Investigate how a supplied pagefile.sys could provide missing pages through the proposed -pf argument. Done means a dump such as /tmp/win2019.dmp can use /tmp/pagefile.sys to complete those pages without the reported failure.
