The box in question is monitor and keyboardless unless strictly necessary, and routes the ADSL internet connection to a local network. What is the preferred what of getting debugging information from a kernel oops? Is my only way connecting a monitor and getting a pencil and paper? Is there any conceivable way I can get some useful debugging information (on reset) without plugging in a keyboard/monitor? +=================================================+ | Joseph Mathewson <joe@mathewson.co.uk> | +=================================================+ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

You can build and boot a kernel with serial console and run a serial cable to another box ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

Add a serial console (linux/Documentation/serial-console.txt) and install the kernel debugger of your choice. kdb is good ;) http://oss.sgi.com/projects/kdb/download ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
