From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020412 Debian/0.9.9-6 Description of problem: Since our RHAS2.1 keeps falling over (bug 67608) it would be helpful if you could add something like "Linux Kernel Crash Dumps" ("http://lkcd.sf.net") to your distro(s). That would enable us (and others) to file kernel bugs with more information than just "it crashed". Preferrably you should add a script that generates some kind of text file (with a list of relevant modules, backtraces and whatever other information you feel important) that can be attached to the bug report. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Wait for the kernel to crash with a blank screen. 2. Reboot. Actual Results: - Expected Results: Some kind of kernel crash dump information should appear under /var/log or wherever. Possibly, a text file with that information should be e-mailed to root as well. Additional info: Marked priority "high" as it is often impossible to report kernel crashes in any helpful way. I have no idea whether LKCD is technically sound, but the idea is *definitely* correct.
Just discovered netdump. Will try to get it working.
