[...] > Do the kernels from Etch on, have this option already compiled? I just checked linux-image-2.6.18-4-486_2.6.18.dfsg.1-12etch2_i386.deb and its config file has "CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ=y". I would expect that this is the same for the later kernels. You can check yourself for your currently running kernel with grep SYSRQ /boot/config-$(uname -r) In case you are asking this question because you already run a >=2.6.18 kernel and sysrq does not work for you: Try if echo "1" >/proc/sys/kernel/sysrq (as root) improves the situation. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
