Subject: Re: [PATCH] sysrq: add debug message to reboot event
Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2009 19:22:16 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A8CB358.4090001@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090819135827.168621d8.akpm@linux-foundation.org>

Add debug message to detect keyboard vs non-keyboard triggered sysrq-b events.
This is to assist postmortem debugging on complicated computing setup with
large number of applications involved where reboot event had occurred, but 
unclear of its origin.
