Say what the -[ cut here ]- lines are called

2018-08-17 Thread Dan Jacobson
The kernel should really say what the [ cut here ] lines are called, else users will say things like: "I discovered that the user needs to use xrandr in _two_ steps for certain resolutions, else he will trigger a kernel: [ cut here ] line."

Idea: new parameter: save_boot_messages_to_a_file_on=/dev/sdb1

2014-08-12 Thread 積丹尼 Dan Jacobson
Problem: boot messages fly off the screen before the kernel panic is reached. Possible to write boot messages to a file on a USB stick? Gentlemen, we all know what a hassle it can be to get all those error messages that fly off your screen upon failed boots. One needs extra equipment etc. Well

Idea: if the user could disable the "Call Trace:" seen upon "Kernel panic - not syncing: attempted to kill init!" he would then be able to see more lines above without having it shoved off the screen with the useless (to him) call trace. e.g., using panic=222 call_trace=disabled would give him
