Hello, I've recently been suffering some problems with sudden crashes that I believe to be in Linux after upgrading from Ubuntu Precise to Ubuntu Trusty.
It so happens there are enough computers to get a statistical sense of the increase in such crashes, and it is about tenfold the rate. The problem is that no messages I can easily attain are emitted: crashdump doesn't work on EC2 (which is Xen-based, and fact that crashdump doesn't work is also documented elsewhere on the Internet as an upstream issue), and the logs possess nothing except maybe some nul bytes where I expect unflushed data to be. While I know LKML is not particularly interested in bug reports such an a kernel, I'm having trouble finding references on how one goes about designing a good bug report given the constraints I have (in particular, no kdump, no logs). I also was not able to find definitive references about how to gather data for such cases. Can anyone dispense advice about the routine way to deal with such bugs so I can assemble a a decent report given the constraints I have in post-mortem crash data? Thanks in advance. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
