Description Phil Copeland 2002-09-05 15:43:21 UTC
Description of Problem:

An oops wastes lines of screen space

How Reproducible:
umm favorite crash kernel bug of the day...

Actual Results:

Best seen with my last oops
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=74944

note 2 blank lines between end of trace and Code: AND screen shifted up an
additional line (note position of cursor)

Expected Results:
all lines should be filled with info. No blanks, as invariably people run in
standard vga mode (in fact with this card (g400) 80x50, 132x60 etc all revert to
80x24 when an oops occurs)

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
