Description Tom Wood 2003-07-30 19:59:47 UTC
Description of problem:
It's pretty hard to run ksymoops against severn kernel issues when ksymoops
isn't there.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible: every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Watch SMP kernel oops
2.  Pull out hair looking for ksymoops
3.  Give up in hairless disgust...
    
Actual results: No ksymoops to be found.  Find a README that explains how to go
to kernel.org and get it, but don't know how well it will work with a RH kernel,
especially a beta one.


Expected results:  Run ksymoops so I can provided NEEDed info to another bug
I've filed.


Additional info:  Will the box stock 2.4.21 ksymoops from kernel.org work right?

ksymoops shouldn't be needed; all symbols should be decoded in the kernel dumps
already.
