Hi Jay and others, I've attached two patches that nearly backport KDB's kdump capability to the 2.6.20 kernel. I marked them as "ubuntu" because I'm patching against the Ubuntu 7.04 kernel, though the only difference as far as KDB is concerned is a couple lines in ohci-pci.c.
I think I got the arch-independent part right, as I can apply the patch cleanly against my source tree. However, I haven't been able to test it yet because I can't apply the arch-dependent (i386) patch successfully. It appears that at some point an arch-independent (between i386 and x86_64) directory called "x86" was added. As such, I can't patch the files linux/arch/x86/kdb/kdba_support.c and linux/arch/x86/kernel/crash.c because they simply aren't there. Trying to figure out what I can do from here and would appreciate if anyone is able to lend a hand or some insight. -Kevin -- Binary/unsupported file stripped by Ecartis -- -- Type: application/octet-stream -- File: kdb-v4.4-2.6.20-common-6-ubuntu-2 -- Binary/unsupported file stripped by Ecartis -- -- Type: application/octet-stream -- File: kdb-v4.4-2.6.20-i386-3-ubuntu-2 --------------------------- Use http://oss.sgi.com/ecartis to modify your settings or to unsubscribe.
