Memory leakage...

How do I get port inside kernel....

2000-06-05 Thread G.B.Naidu

Hi Guys, My system hangs. I know how to take core dumps and start debugging if it is panicing. But the system hangs, then I cant do anything. The only thing I can do is reset or power off and on. What I would like to know is how to handle hangs. I guess that panic and hangs are different.
