how can i log kernel panics (with core dump details) on kernel 2.6? thanks, Payam Shabanian [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Back in the day when I was trying to help Linus debug an emu10k1 bug I set up a serial console to another PC - that helped a lot. If you're in X most of the time, there's not much you can do without setting up a serial console or one of the kernel dump patches (these patches dump the panic information into the swap area, where tools can look at them at the next reboot - the problem is that if you've paniced it may be unsafe to use any of the standard kernel methods to write to disk, since pointers may be screwed up and you may end up corrupting a filesystem - "dump to floppy" patches are somewhat safer.)
