Date: Fri, 6 Jan 2006 11:34:30 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060106023429.GC18912@miraclelinux.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20060106023306.GB18912@miraclelinux.com>
Kdump has been merged and supported on several architectures.
It is better to encourage to use kdump rather than non standard
kernel crash dump patches.
