Please ensure that you are currently running the kernel version that you
|
|
|
|
are reporting on. This will allow your bug report to include useful
|
|
|
|
diagnostic information about the running kernel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are reporting that the kernel fails to boot, please use a digital
|
|
|
|
camera, serial console or netconsole to record the boot messages and
|
2011-03-24 05:23:39 +00:00
|
|
|
attach these to your report. You can use the kernel parameter
|
|
|
|
'boot_delay=1000' to slow down the boot messages.

If you are reporting a crash on a system that boots using EFI, it may
|
|
|
|
be useful to mount the 'pstore' filesystem so that a crash log can be
|
|
|
|
retrieved from flash memory. You can do this by running (as root):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mount -t pstore pstore /sys/fs/pstore
