I find the ethernet console to be most convenient if you have a second PC. 1. Boot into single user mode 2. load the netconsole module with appropriate parameters 3. on your other PC, run: netcat -u -l -p <port> 4. exit single user mode Crash/debug info should appear on the netcat terminal. $KERNEL/Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt $ modinfo netconsole filename: /lib/modules/2.6.18-1-686/kernel/drivers/net/netconsole.ko author: Maintainer: Matt Mackall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> description: Console driver for network interfaces license: GPL vermagic: 2.6.18-1-686 SMP mod_unload 686 REGPARM gcc-4.1 depends: parm: netconsole: [EMAIL PROTECTED]/[dev],[tgt-port]@<tgt-ip>/[tgt-macaddr] (string) -s -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
