fwiw, I'd like to see these too. Coworkers of mine have patches to do this within kernel-package but, by the time we got the k-p maintainer to serious look at them, linux-2.6 was migrating away from k-p. In addition to systemtap, it should also make it easier to get crash to work on released kernel images. -- dann frazier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
