Hi, I occasionally get a kernel panic, at least I assume it is because everything freezes except for blinking keyboard lights, when compiling with multiple jobs using scons but I can't find anything in the log to indicate where it happened. I'm already running kdump but it doesn't trigger. I think I can reproduce the panic with a particular resource hungry compile so what can I do to debug this problem?
Have the console visible (Ctrl+Alt+F1) when the panic happens and you should see a backtrace.
An alternative is setting up a serial console.
The logging console (Ctrl+Alt+F10) is usually a bit more instructive. You will have to write down the contents or take a photo, and part of the message will usually scroll off the screen, but it is generally enough to get some clues.
Would you believe that? You just tought me about the logging console, I didn't know about it! That being said, in my experience panic messages are printed to whatever console is active so it shouldn't actually matter... cool feature for other cases though! -- Jean Delvare Suse L3 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
