Hi all,
In the latest 2.4 and 2.6 kernels, Documentation/sysrq.txt seems to
still mention that MAGIC SYSRQ is still available, however I can not
find it in the configuration. When I add CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ to
.config and run oldconfig, it vanishes.
What is the prefered method of enabling magic sysrq on i386? That was
a really nice feature. I hope it has not been removed.
Thanks,
Jeremy

You didn't say what architecture, and the answer may vary by arch.,
especially in 2.4.x.
In 2.4.27, you have to enable 'Kernel debugging' in the
'Kernel hacking' menu in order to be able to set MAGIC_SYSRQ.
(for i386 arch.)
In 2.6.9-rc1, you have to enable 'Kernel debugging' in the
'Kernel hacking' menu in order to be able set MAGIC_SYSRQ.
What arch. specifically?

Nope, not going anywhere.

Hi, Sorry, I did say the arch, but only in the subject.
i386.

Thanks.
That's probably enough info anyway (re: kernel debug).
Sincerely,
Jeremy
