If the hardware error dump is complicated there is a trade-off between making things human readable and putting a lot of comlicated parsing code into the kernel. Maybe the kernel should just dump hex "text" in some cases and let a user-program parse the syslog? What do do if the hardware error log is very large? Is there a limit on how much is practical to send through syslog? thanks, -Len Brown, Intel Open Source Technology Center -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
