Hi Michael,

Ah, okay.  You could consider installing kgdb/kdb -- it will let you
drop to the kdb shell after the crash and run dmesg through a pager.

Just:

CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_KGDB=y
CONFIG_KGDB=y
CONFIG_KGDB_SERIAL_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS=y
# CONFIG_KGDB_TESTS_ON_BOOT is not set
CONFIG_KGDB_LOW_LEVEL_TRAP=y
CONFIG_KGDB_KDB=y
CONFIG_KDB_KEYBOARD=y

and then boot with "kgdboc=kms,kbd" added.

Not sure I understand.  Do you mean that the same crash happens on
your older kernel now, or that you've reverted to your older kernel
because you had another -rc5 crash?  If the crash happens on -rc5 but
not the older kernel (what revision is the older kernel?), that's
extremely interesting.

Josef/Chris, any knowledge about hitting this BUG() on -rc5?

- Chris.
