My factory beta 5.2 freezes completely, randomly. I assume it is the kernel. There is nothing in logs.
I assume I could connect the machine via serial port to another, and make kernel log everything there. But how?
I's suggest that you do here what we often have to do for installation problems:
1. On another networked machine set up a writeable share using NFS (or maybe Samba if you like). I assume you know how to do this! Permissions can be fiddly, I usually end up with 777. For installations, you will need to create a directory YaST2 too.
No. Absolutely not! This method is useless for kernel crashes. Network is down! If the kernel were able to write on a remote filesystem, it would also be able to write on a local one - and it is not, there is nothing in the logs. The only chance is the serial port, because it is a very low-level system. It is the recomended method by the kernel people... but the page I have been pointed at in the bugzilla doesn't explain it. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
