Description smorin 2004-06-15 21:22:39 UTC 
Please note that there is no RHEL4.0 beta to select from the form.

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET 
CLR 1.1.4322)

Description of problem:
REL4 has no netdump_func call in panic
   (via kernel/panic.c)

   In REL3 the panic() function had the following
   code sequence:

        if (netdump_func)
                BUG();

   In REL4 this code sequence is removed.




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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Code Inspection
2.
3.
    

Actual Results:  Code Inspection shows that the code sequence has 
been removed from RHEL3.0.

Expected Results:  Are there plans to re-introduce this functionality?

Alpha 3 does not yet have netdump, we hope to add this to alpha 4.

Netdump didn't make it into Alpha 4 (A4). However it is in Beta 1 (B1).
