Getting crash information from a kernel

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi everyone,

I've used kgdb to debug a target over ethernet before.
But the problem I'm currently facing is that my running kernel sometimes freezes, and I have to reboot. I am using just one machine, I cannot cannot connect another to it to see what caused the crash.
I would like to get a crash report of some sort when I next boot up, so from the stack trace I would at least know the name of the module that caused the crash . What patches can I add to the kernel or what kernel options can I use to accomplish that, apart from enabling kdb?
I suppose there's no option but to compile a new kernel with the options you suggest, since this current kernel is built without debug info.

Thanks,
Mayank
