I've blogged a bit about this and wrote the wiki page. However, the last time I actually tried to use kdump it wasn't working. I don't remember the details. I know I could boot another kernel immediately, but if I loaded a crash kernel it wouldn't actually boot on a panic. It would be nice to have a more official solution for this on Gentoo. I don't mind messing around with it. I don't have a ton of time but if you want to take the lead I can try to pitch in a bit. Rich

During the version bump today, I saw that fedora is providing lots of script and services for it. So I thought someone might be interested and port that to gentoo. kexec itself is working fine on gentoo. Justin signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Re: [gentoo-dev] Proposed update to pax-utils.eclass

The PAX_MARKINGS variable is not documented with eclass documentation markup, it should at least get an @INTERNAL if this is not supposed to be modified by eclass users. _pax_list_files can receive documentation this way as well. You should probably try to avoid mixing [[ ]] and [ ] in the eclass. [ ] seems to be less used here so just have everything [[ ]] and drop the useless quoting that came with [ ].

I will not remove the clients as they may work for a bit longer. I will just keep them masked so users will know that something may or may not break in the future and they should start planing their next step -- Regards, Markos Chandras - Gentoo Linux Developer http://dev.gentoo.org/~hwoarang

Imho USE_EXPAND should be used for flags that will be used by multiple (5?) packages -- for the simple reason, that USE_EXPAND somewhat hints for using /etc/make.conf for configuration (yes, you can still use package.use, but this feature is probably not so well known). Also the bug gives no reasoning, why having USE_EXPAND is a good thing here. - René

I don't mind contributing some, however. I guess see what kind of response you get and we'll figure out what makes sense. kexec itself is working fine on gentoo. That was my experience when I wrote the blog, but not the last time I tried using it... But, I haven't tested it in a few months. That is, kexec for a recovery kernel - it works fine if you want to do an immediate reboot. Rich
