However, it is desirable for shutdown performance analysis reasons to optionally allow collecting dmesg buffers during other events as well: reboot, kexec, emergency reboot etc. How to quickly test: virtme-run --mods=auto --kdir --mods=auto --kdir . \ -a memmap=1G$8G -a ramoops.mem_address=0x200000000 \ -a ramoops.mem_size=0x100000 -a ramoops.record_size=32768 \ -a ramoops.dump_all=1 -a quiet --qemu-opts -m 8G .. # reboot -f After VM is back: # mount -t pstore pstore /mnt # head /mnt/dmesg-ramoops-0 Restart#1 Part1 ...
