Do people actually still use ksymoops for 2.6 kernels ? I resorted to it about 6 months ago for the first time in the better part of 3 years, and it didn't even compile.

Given we've extended the oops output in several different ways without thought in the past, it seems a bit late. We added printing of module list in the middle of the output. We added various tainting flags over time. What other tools parse oopses ? ksymoops is the only one I recall. > The patch is a desirable change (I do get seasick reading x86_64 traces, > but I'll get over it), but it'll cause various bits of downstream grief. I'd be surprised if anyone noticed. *shrug*, in an ideal world, no-one would ever see an oops anyway :-P Dave - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
