This logs a panic to our "eventlog", a tiny logging area in SPI flash for critical and power-related events. In some cases this ends up being the only clue we get in a Chromebook feedback report that a panic occurred, so from my perspective moving it to the front of the line seems like a good idea. -Evan _______________________________________________ kexec mailing list kexec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec
