Oops on 2.2.17 [klogd bonus question]

Oops on 2.2.17 [klogd bonus question]

[Rasmus Andersen]

Hi.

I'm getting oopses on a linux 2.2.17 box when I try to do
tar cvIf <file> -X<file> /. Reproducably. This works fine 
for the std. RH 6.2 kernel (2.2.14-5). The resulting file 
is about 20MB.

I would submit the oops, but it is run through klogd and
I seem to remember people expressing dissatisfaction 
with klogd. So what do I do now to get a usable oops
to submit?

Regards,
  Rasmus

I dont know anything wrong with klogd. 


Anyway, kill klogd so you'll get a non decoded oops on your screen and
then you can decoded it with ksymoops.

Are you excluding /proc?  Trying to back up all of /proc is definitely
asking for trouble, although the oops still indicates a kernel bug.

Good suggestion. But I exclude /proc and anyways it crashes before I get
to that part of the fs.
