I too had 2.6.18 crash this week, I wonder if it is the same issue. To record the stack trace, you can't use the serial console since the serial driver isn't available. But you can still use the serial port. First, install ZTerm on the mac. Use that to verify that your remote host will capture serial output at 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits. Then boot linux on the mac with "debug=ser" or "debug=ser1" added to the kernel command line (if you are using the modem port. Use "debug=ser2" for the printer port). Make sure Penguin is set to preconfigure the serial port(s). > > Any other kernels I should try? This machine is only a dumb web > > server.
