Hi there,

Now I am at a loss.. I cant get any logs from netconsole. With ACPI
enabled it drops dead just after the kernel hands control to Init. When
I reboot with acpi disabled there is no trace of the previous boot in
/var/log/message or kernel logs.

The network card I have is a Tigon3 and its not initialised before the
system dies... or so it looks (altho I cant seem to get any netconsole
working - I suspect pebkac)

I have tried to find an option where the kernel boot is logged
explicitly to disk, but I cant seem to find the option. There is so much
chaff I cant seem to get my brain to find the REAL options list thats up
to date.

Any pointers are appreciated
Richard
