Maybe I misunderstood what "KMSG_DUMP_OOPS" meant ... it looked to me like this code is used for non-fatal OOPsen - ones that will be logged to /var/log/messages. You are right that the whole point of this is to save data from fatal errors ... if I'm not doing that, then I'm happy to change things until I achieve that goal. -Tony -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arch" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
