Comment 1 Barry K. Nathan 2005-01-05 15:51:54 UTC
The netdump module also seems to be missing from 2.6.10-1.727_FC3

Comment 2 Phil Anderson 2005-01-11 20:39:59 UTC
Still broken in 2.6.10-1.737_FC3

Comment 3 Sitsofe Wheeler 2005-01-12 10:28:22 UTC
I remember reading in the kernel changelogs that it had been taken out in
preperation of being replaced with a new kexec system...

Hmm just found this:

Comment 4 Phil Anderson 2005-01-12 10:56:31 UTC
Surely this is a mistake to remove it from the FC3 kernel though

Comment 5 Barry K. Nathan 2005-01-12 13:41:44 UTC
Given that they dropped 4g4g (and seeing how that affected some people
severely), who knows if it was intentional or a mistake.

Comment 6 Dave Jones 2005-01-12 17:47:35 UTC
it was intentional, as it rejected once I rebased and various other
patches got dropped. rediffing it and getting it back into fc2/fc3 is
on my todo list, though there are higher priority things right now.

Comment 7 Dave Jones 2005-01-18 23:21:15 UTC
fixed in cvs, will be in the next build.
