Netconsole doesn't catch anything. In fact i just had slightly different situation where after ssh connection was killed i was able to reconnect and look at dmesg there - nothing. -- mailto:av1474@comtv.ru -- 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/
