Isn't this for program crashes, not kernel panics? I wonder why it was removed because I used to see those core files from crashes. -- "We may have no malevolent intentions toward an ant heap, but if we want to build a house on the same site..." --Rendezvous With Rama /\___/\ / /\ /\ \ Phil./Ant @ http://antfarm.ma.cx (Personal Web Site) | |o o| | Ant's Quality Foraged Links: http://aqfl.net \ _ / Nuke ANT from e-mail address: philpi(a)earthlink.netANT ( ) or ANTant(a)zimage.com Ant is currently not listening to any songs on his home computer.

The only thing you can do, is to look at the screen or to enable the serial console output and log that on another machine. The reason no disk access is possible is simple: A kernel panic only hapens when the kernel internal state is regarded as seriously corrupted. A disk access could then cause serious filesystem corruption (at least writing) and is therefore not done. Arno -- Arno Wagner, Dr. sc. techn., Dipl.
