netconsole should be more quick: * one more box with ethernet card * CONFIG_NETCONSOLE=y * CONFIG_ {your NIC driver} =y * on crashing box add the following line to the kernel boot options [EMAIL PROTECTED]/eth0,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/dst-MAC where scr-ip -- IP of crashing box eth0 -- interface on crashing box 9353 -- destination port (for netcat to listen on target box) dst-ip -- IP of a box which collect logs dst-MAC -- MAC of the interface on destination box * on destination box run netcat nc -u -l -p 9353 &>1.log [* add ignore_loglevel on crashing box if paranoid] Now reboot crashing box and reproduce the bug, chances are high that it will send oops over network. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
